Once every four years, all of USCF's scholastic national individual & team championships (high school, junior high, elementary) are held simultaneously in Nashville: this was the weekend for "Supernationals."
Results are in, says Chess Life Online. And Illinois students did more than OK.
Congratulations to two National Champions from Illinois!!
Aydin Turgut of Decatur took the K-3 Championship with a perfect 7-0.
David Peng won the K-6 Championship with an undefeated 6½-½ score.
I was renewing library books at Harold Washington yesterday when I ran into Phillip Turner, father of Whitney Young's Philip Parker-Turner, who was kind enough to send the below picture of the Whitney Young team (here collecting hardware at the MVP tournament). Whitney Young did more than OK, finishing in a tie for 5th-7th with 18 points, only 2½ points behind the winners. Sam Schmakel tied for 2nd in the individual championship (7th on tiebreaks) with a 6-1 score, losing only to tournament winner Atulya Shetti of Michigan.
