"Middle School Chess Team Wins National High School Championship"

 From the website of the New York Times.

High School Nationals (ouch)

When I'm blogging during an event, but go silent after the last round, that usually means I didn't like the results.  Congratulations to the ten co-champions, none of whom were from Illinois.  Coverage at Chess Life Online.

Both Michael Auger and Adarsh Jayakumar had a clear shot at a piece of the national title.   I haven't seen Adarsh's game yet, but Michael was clearly winning.....
