Hello Chess Fans,
The Spartan Chess Team from Miami Country Day School brought home a 2nd Place team trophy for the K-12 (high school) section of the Miami International Chess Academy Grand Prix Scholastic tournament this past Saturday at Rockway Middle School. Leading the Spartans to their second place finish were A.J. Pitchman and Daniel Goldfarb, earning individual awards of a 3rd place trophy and 4th place medal respectively. In addition to a strong showing at the high school level, Spencer Berens, David Gonzalez, Sascha Kappos, and Julian Schultz all earned wins for MCDS in the K-8 (middle school) section. Elliot Starkman, a Kindergarten student, won 3 out of his 5 matches, a very impressive showing for a student competing with in the K-3 section (a section including third-graders) in only his third USCF-rated tournament.
