The Dalton Chess Team defeated the competition at the New York State Scholastic Chess Championships February 27-28. Led by Hudson Beaudoin, the New York State Chess Champion for K-1, Dalton cruised to a landslide victory in the K-1 section, with sixteen points. The second place team was three and a half points behind with only twelve and a half points. Our Primary Team also won easily with their sixteen points, a point and a half ahead of the second place finisher.
Our team was both strong and deep. If you cut the team in half and entered each half as a separate team, we would have been first and second. Team spirit, great parental support, and strong assistance from our Grandmasters Miron Sher and Ala Grinfeld all contributed to a great performance from the Dalton Tiger Chess Team.
