Remaining Events
Hi Mill Valley Chess Families,
The Chess season is winding down and there are only a few tournaments left this season.
The Chess season is winding down and there are only a few tournaments left this season.
- April 5&6 WSCF K-8 State Championships - Wisconsin Dells (Mr. Reese not attending)
- April 12 Rose Glen Elementary Waukesha
- April 19 Ronald Reagan Elementary New Berlin
- April 26 3rd Annual All Girls Tournament University School of Milwaukee
- May 3 Mill Valley will host a tournament
- May 9-11 USCF National Elementary Championships Pittsburgh, PA
The next tournament that Mr. Reese will be attending is April 12th at Rose Glen. We have decided not to attend the WSCF Championships held in the Dells. A few families have expressed interest in attending, and a few may have already registered. This tournament requires advance payment with registration either by mail or online at wisconsinscholasticchess.org, so if you decide to participate you will need to take care of registration on your own. If you have questions or need help getting through the process I will gladly help if you give me a call.
The Reagan tournament is not a WSCF event. It is being directed by Randy Bubolz, the chess coach for the New Berlin Elementary Schools. If you want to participate and have a sporting event commitment that day, you can request a half point bye for the round you will miss. He is also offering a USCF Rated Beginner Open in addition to the Scholastic event. If you are a USCF member with a rating under 1200, child or adult, you can play in this section.
All the remaining tournaments will have a K-3 Division. I will send a reminder about the April 12th, Rose Glen Tournament after the first of the month.
Thank you,

Mill Valley/Reese Take First at State!
Hi Mill Valley Chess Families,
This past weekend eight players from Mill Valley participated in the Wisconsin State Scholastic Championships sponsored by the Wisconsin Chess Association in Oshkosh. They competed in the K-5 Division against teams from 18 schools in a field of 101 participants. Together they scored 18 points to tie for 1st Place Team State Champions with New Berlin's Glen Park, but got the 2nd Place Team Trophy on tie-breaker One, 90 to 91.
Mill Valley's name goes on the traveling State Championship Trophy Cup coming to Mill Valley in 6 months. New Berlin promised to bring it to the Mill Valley tournament on May 3rd for a visit and all to see.
As individuals, Josh Bartz finished in 66th Place and Kolt Otterbacher finished in 51st position. Brian Schroeder got 33rd for a Medal with 3.5 wins. Reid Seghers finished 25th, 3rd Grader Jorin McGuire took 24th, and Chris Tillson got 18th Place, all with 4 wins for a State Championship Medal. Evan Seghers tied for 9th Place, but got the 10th Place Trophy with 4.5 wins. Gregory Reese tied for the 1st Place Individual Trophy with 5.5 wins, won it on tie-breakers, and is State Co-Champion with Sam Gorectke of New Berlin.
Congratulations to all who participated!
