CPS dominates Evanston chess tournament Saturday 11-5-11
The CPS had a monster last Saturday with Mather winning state in soccer, Jones taking 7th in cross country, and Hubbard
advancing to the state quarterfinals in football.

Adding to this haul was the
domination of CPS chess in a prestigious chess tournament at Evanston. 6 of
last year's top 8 teams in the state attended this big event, including
Niles North, Hinsdale Central, Stevenson, and Evanston. But at the end of
the day, the only two perfect 4-0 scores belonged to Whitney Young and
Northside Prep. It's one more thing to add to the amazing day in CPS sports
and activitys. Kelly
also had a strong 3-1 result, and it was good to see
Lane Tech back in action with a team and a new coach, Bob Bartelt.
Pictured to the left are competitors in last spring's elementary school CPS city chess championship. The CPS has a very developed chess program that starts with a Kindergarten-2nd grade level city championship. Maybe that is one reason why the CPS is so competitive at the high school level.
