The Maine Scholastic Chess Team Championships were yesterday. The high school championship section came down to the last game between Kurt Eyerer of Jahn Bapst and Scott Dennis of Bangor. When Kurt checkmated Scott, he pulled Bapst into a final round split with Bangor (2 1/2- 2 1/2) that gave Bapst 3 1/2 points and a clinching of an outright title.
In the K-6 Championship section Cape Elizabeth survived a tight battle with Deer Isle - Stonington (2nd) and the the Airline Community School. Cape finished with 15 points, DIS 13.5 points and the Airline 12.5. Going into the last round Cape and the Airline had 11 while DIS had 10.5. It was a tense battle as the last two games remaining included two Airline students. If they had been able to pull out wins they would have captured the title, but it was not to be this year.
