On Wednesday, March 16th, four members of the Salesianum chess club went to Charter to play against their top four players. It was a heated battle with both sides going back and forth during the games. The matchups were (Charter players listed first):
Chase Butler vs. Bill Frame
Ben Riblett vs. Matt Fendt
Matt Borowski vs. Ray Zeller
Chris Beattie vs. Shawn Savage
In the end all players had a great time and enjoyed the competition. To relieve the stress of the ’serious’ games the day finished off with bughouse craziness.
The Sallies team captain and club organizer Bill Frame summarized it best by saying, “I felt the match between Salesianum and Charter was a very important one not only for the players but for scholastic chess in Delaware. If we are lucky, it will open the door to similar matches, ingraining the love of chess into highschoolers throughout the state.”
Well said Bill and we hope other schools join in on the fun!
