Chess Students vs Faculty (Click for more photos)

On Wednesday we held our chess match between the faculty and the students.  We had 25 students participating, and since we were short faculty members, we asked parents to fill in on the faculty side. 

 

The format the of event was a mad scramble, where participants played as many games as possible in the allotted 75 minutes of playing time.  We then total points (wins) for each side.  The students had 70 wins, and the faculty plus parents had 8.5.  This was impressive for the kids, but not really a fair comparison since the students had so many more players.  So we also decided to total just the games that took place between the students and the faculty/parents.  With that scoring method, the students had 18.5 points and the faculty plus parents had the same 8.5 points.  So either way you score it, the students won the day. 

 

The following participants had four or more points for their team: Katie Li (Students – 4); John Reeves-Shaw (Students – 4); Charles Dorman (Students – 4); Sterling Wohlfahrt (Students – 5); Ollie Mathewson (Students – 6); Joaquin Gil (Students – 7); and Tobias Slatken (Team Captain for the Students – 9).

 

Thank you parents and faculty for giving our team a fun end of the season.  See you next year!
