Ifergane Still Has It!

Spartan Chess Club alum Warren Ifergane enjoyed a Friday afternoon of chess with many of the current Spartan Chess Club members and sponsors and showed that he still has the skills to win. In a tactical championship match versus Mr. Konen, Ifergane finished 4.0/4.0 and took home his second championship trophy from a tournament hosted at MCDS.

Congratulations are also in order for the scholastic champion, Kevin Goldfarb, and scholastic runner-up, A.J. Pitchman. Both finished 3.0/4.0, but Kevin received the larger hardware due to the modified median tiebreaker. David Gonzalez and Spencer Berens were the highest finishing middle school participants, finishing 2.0/4.0.

There was a total of 17 participants in this Game/15 blitz tournament. Josh Breakstone and James Callado are the Spartan Chess Club's newest USCF members.
