Next Up: WI Grade Level at MSOE

Next Saturday, Feb 20, is one of my favorite events of the year. Hundreds of kids around the state come together for the Wisconsin Grade Level Chess Tournament. Last year, with a team of Reid, Evan, Chris, Kolt, Jason, Brian, Rachel, Josh and Zeke, we won the first place trophy for 5th Grade, edging out University School and their amazing Expert-level leader Sasha.

This year, we have a great shot at both the 6th place, and also the 5th place, trophies, if we have good participation. So far, we have Reid, Evan, Jason, and Rachel signed up for 6th grade, and JacobG and Jorin signed up for 5th grade. This year the tournament will be held at the Milwaukee School of Engineering, 1025 N. Broadway 53202 <-click for map Click here to see the tournament flyer with all the details. I will be taking a van, and can take a couple more kids. To sign up, just RSVP via email to me at s e g h e r s @ g m a i l . c o m (without the spaces) and I will register you- please dont register yourselves.
Please consider joining us for this amazing, well organized, well attended annual event!!
