Thirty-two teams of four players each competed in our second school team tournament, held on May 30 at Wayne Elementary School. The tournament champion, for the second straight time, was The Philadelphia School, winning first and third place with their two teams. Coming in second place was Ithan Elementary, and Springton Manor, the only other school to win at least three out of four possible matches, came in fourth.
Our next team tournament is in November - we look forward to seeing you all there!

USCF Rating Report
On April 18, 44 chessplayers competed in the April Showers chess tournament at Wayne Elementary School. Atharva Deshpande won the tournament with a hard-fought 3.5/4 points in the K-12 Championship section, defeating Kevin Ouyang (3/4) in the last round. James Strommer (3/4) finished in third place after drawing Atharva in round 3 and then taking a last round bye.

The Spring Rumble on April 25 is our last individual scholastic tournament of the year. Players looking for more of a challenge can compete in the Friday Night Action tournaments in Bryn Mawr, and K-8 scholastic teams can play in the Team Tournament on May 30 in Wayne.
 Atharva with his 1st-place trophy after winning the tournament. He really earned this trophy - in three of the four rounds, he was in the longest game of the round!
 K-6 U/700 winner Ben with his trophy. Unfortunately for Ben, this result puts his rating up near 800 - no more U/700 sections for him!
