  • First Chess Match of the Season

    Scott Ohlman
    On Wednesday January 28th Trinity Chess took on newcomer St. Ann’s.  This is St. Ann’s first year to compete with other schools in chess, and they gave a valiant effort.  Trinity, however, easily prevailed by a score of 62 to 4. Team captains Sterling W. and Jaxson W. led the charge both going undefeated.
     
    I saw two interesting checkmates in this match.  The first was by 5th grader Ryan H.  Somehow Ryan lured the opposing king to the center of the board, and checkmated with a bishop, knight, rook and pawn.  The king was between the knight and bishop. The bishop was delivering check, and at the same time defending the knight.  The knight, rook and pawn were cutting off the escape squares.  Nice!
     
    The other checkmate was a variation on the rare two move checkmate, and it was preformed by 6th grader Ukwouri E.  Most chess players know about the four move checkmate (also called the scholars mate), but only a few know about the two move checkmate.  If you want to know how this checkmate works, just ask a member of the Trinity Chess Club!
