All these young players did well, but Illinois chess was the real winner. I'm not sure of the final headcount, as some teams had alternates, but there were more than 128 teams and more than 1028 players this weekend! Proud daughter Betsy Dynako notes on her Facebook page that her father, Mike Zacate, founded this event 44 years ago. It's been recognized by the IHSA for 37 years!
Vince Hart tells us that Zacate received a standing ovation before the final round.
Oh, and here are the final standings.
