KML Bests Kewaskum in Home Match

With the strength of five seniors, KML varsity chess defeated Kewaskum in a match hosted at KML today. KML achieved wins from Ted on board 1, Olivia on board 2, and Luke on board 3. Isaac and Xander ended in draws on boards 4 and 5. The future of chess at both KML and Kewaskum is strong – with an additional 11 JV games played to grow experience of newer players. KML won 7 and drew one of those JV games, including wins from Ryan (an 8^th grader) and Jake (a 7^th grader). And almost every player took notation, which means we can learn from the games played tonight. Great job, Chargers!
