McCain Ties for 20th at Denker

Lucas McCain scored 3.0 out of 6.0 to finish tied for 20th at the Denker High School Tournament of Champions. Lucas only lost once while drawing four games and winning one. Lucas (1935) beat the only opponent who had a lower rating than he, while drawing Jeffrey Haskel the highest rated player (2278) and second place finisher. The other four opponents that Lucas faced all had ratings above 2000. Congratulations Lucas on representing Maine so well!

Another congratulations goes to Abby Marshall who became the first female winner of the Denker. We met Abby at the Polgar in Chicago (2006). She has won the Polgar twice and has now added the Denker to her impressive resume.
