Aaron Spencer Goes To Denker

Aaron Spencer, a recent graduate of John Bapst Memorial High School, went to California representing the state of Maine at Denker Championships. The Denker includes one high school representative from each state and there were a couple more from the host state. All in all 49 students participated, and, of these 49, twenty-two had ratings over 2000. The competition was outstanding for Aaron, and he did very well scoring 3.0 over six rounds. He finished tied for 22nd after being seeded 40th. This resulted in his rating jumping 46 points from 1720 to 1766, his highest rating to date. For more information on his games check chessmaine.net. Great job, Aaron! We hope to see you next weekend at the Maine State Closed Championship!
