Next Move Dallas
Lowell’s chess team heads to the 2019 National Junior High Championship in Texas this spring. To warm up for the big competition, some team members played in the MD Chess Scholastic Tournament. Max Fitch-Connelly ’21 landed fourth in the 800–1199 section, and Diego Zein ’21 and Elias Weetjens ’21 came in fourth and fifth, respectively, in the under 800 group and also brought home a third-place team trophy. Aidan Becker ’21, Ben Mannes ’21, and Ethan Vandivier ’21 round out the team headed to Dallas with Lowell’s chess teacher, Lizzie Sadoff.
