On Wednesday April 15, Tax Day, Trinity hosted the second session of upper school chess.

 

Trinity won the day with 12.5 points giving us a total of 24.5 points so far.  This puts us squarely in second place.  Homeschoolers earned 12 points from session 2, and they are still in first place with 27 total points.  Midland Classical gained 11 points, and they are in third place with 23 total points.

 

On an individual basis, three Trinity players are currently in the top 10: Jaxon Wilman - tied for 8th place; Joaquin Gil – also tied for 8th place; and Ollie Mathewson - tied for 2nd place.

 

The following Trinity players went undefeated on the day: Joaquin Gil and Katie Li.

 

I saw a couple of Katie Li’s games (first and third games of the day).  In both games, Katie built up a steady lead, and then performed the ladder checkmate with ease.  Nice.

 

The final session will be next Wednesday April 22nd.  We have a good chance to get first place in both individual and team contests.  It should be fun. 

 

Also Saturday April 18 is the final day to sign up for the end of year city tournament.  Hope to see you there.
