Chess Club Getting Underway for 2014/15
The new school year is beginning, and Neenah High School students will have an early opportunity to reinvigorate those chess muscles that may have atrophied during the summer break. As in the past couple of years, chess will begin on the first day of school; Tuesday, September 2nd. Practices will be held every Tuesday and Thursday from 3:20-4:30 and running until Nationals in April. We will meet as usual in the Apollo commons which is in the Armstrong building, just inside door 6.
Middle school chess clubs will begin at Shattuck and Horace Mann around the end of September or early October. Details will be posted in a couple of weeks.
New this year, you may follow us on twitter for important travel and tournament information, as well as live tournament results.

The Neenah High School varsity chess team is the 2014 Division I State Champion, and for the first time since 1993 the championship cup has traveled north of the Milwaukee-Madison line. The 2014 State Championship was held at the University of Wisconsin - Oshkosh on March 22nd and 23rd. All five varsity players returned to defend last year's co-championship.
Neenah defeated a strong University School of Milwaukee "B" team in the first round on Saturday. In the second round, Neenah avenged their only 2013 loss by upsetting top-seeded Madison West. They finished Saturday's play be defeating New Berlin West high school in the third round.
On Sunday morning, Neenah faced the only other undefeated team, Brookfield Academy. In a hotly contested match that came down to the final seconds, Neenah prevailed to clinch at least another co-championship. Neenah lost its final match to the University School of Milwaukee "A" team but was awarded first place on tiebreakers based on the strength of their opponents.
