Tosa Challenge May 10 - McKinley vs. Tosa Catholic!

Tosa Catholic and their coach Bob Patterson-Sumwaldt (leader of the WSCF) has challenged McKinley to a school vs. school match on Wed May 10!   We hope this will be the beginning of a new tradition, and an annual tournament called the Tosa Challenge!

We are thinking there will be TWO GAMES.  Our board 1 plays their board 1, board 2 plays board 2, all the way down the line.   Game 2, we could either switch white/black and play adjoining players e.g. # 1 from TC would play # 2 from McK,   # 1 from McK would play # 2 from TC... or we just have 1-0 kids play 1-0 kids and 0-1 kids play 0-1 kids like in a tournament.

Would start after school.   After the two games, we can have pizza and parents can hang out and meet each other.

Let us know what you think!   P.S.  The winner will keep the "Traveling Trophy" until the next match...

P.P.S.   We are also thinking about a "Chess in the Park" event at Hoyt this Summer!   Watch for news here!
