The Neenah Chess Team traveled to Minneapolis this weekend to compete in
the 7 round 2012 National High School Chess Championships. 9 Neenah
players competed in various sections of the tournament, playing in games
that lasted up to four hours each.
In each section, 4 players make up a
full team, but in the unrated section our 3 players accumulated enough
points to finish in 15th place despite being shorthanded. Junior Eric
Payne finished in 9th place overall in that section with 5.5 out of 7
points. Nick Breuer, an 8th grader at Shattuck Middle School finished
in 16th place in the U800 section with 5 out of 7 points, and Senior
Patrick Cunningham finished in 25th place with 5 out of 7 points in the
very tough U1600 section. Congratulations to all of the Neenah chess
players for their fantastic results!
