Well, Mr. Seghers almost got lost on the way... nothing against Waukesha, but have you ever driven in a more CONFUSING city? AGGGGhhhhh... Thanks to Mr. Bartz, who called me on my cell phone and guided me in.
Mill Valley Knights again took first in K5. We had Evan take first, Reid take second, Chris take third and Jorin take fourth for a MILL VALLEY SWEEP of the top four spots. Greg finished 7th, Josh 12th, and Rachel 17th with 3.5 wins and once again SO CLOSE to getting Red division. Amazing job Mill Valley... this tournament really showed the gap between our program and some of the others. This is due of course to the kids' hard work, and of course the hard work and great instruction of Mr. Reese.
Way to go!!!!!!!

Mill Valley Takes First at WSCF State!
As Bob said when he handed us the trophy, the "Chess Capital of Wisconsin, Mill Valley!" wins another first place trophy, this time in the "first annual" K-5 state tournament at the Kalahari Resort. Mill Valley had 13.5 points compared to second place Shorewood Hills (11.0) and third place Rose Glen (10.0).
Lots of fun was had by all in this event, with plenty of time for the waterpark on Friday and Saturday night, and again on Sunday morning.
Attending for Mill Valley was Evan and Reid Seghers, Chris Tillson and Brian Schroeder. Evan played for 1st place, but lost to a very tough (1421 USCF) Aaron Jing in the final game. Evan played well but made a touch move towards the end which resulted in a positional error. Reid's only loss also came to Master Jing. 2nd place went to Avishai Ella, whose only non-win was a tie against our own Brian Schroeder. Evan took 3rd, Reid took 4th (both with 4 out of 5 wins), Chris Tillson took 9th, and Brian took 19th.
Great job Mill Valley!!!! Thanks also to Coach Reese. Although he was not at this tournament this time around, he was there in spirit, and stands responsible for our children's ongoing chess success!
