3/23/2013 Scholastic Chess of Indiana Team State Finals
In advance of a threat of heavy snowfall, the 44th annual Scholastic Team Chess Championships were held at Honey Creek Middle School in Terre Haute Saturday, March 23, 2013. Three repeat champions and one new champion were crowned in four grade-level divisions. Over 640 scholastic chess players competed in teams of four (plus alternates). The High School Division (12th Grade & Under) saw a repeat champion. After two earlier draws, Carmel High School came from behind to find itself in a 4-way tie at 4-1 with Terre Haute South, Bloomington North, and Bethany Christian of Goshen. With superior tie breaks, Carmel won their second team chess championship in a row. Team members were Sameer Manchanda, Yushi Homma, Andrew Kluttz, Saiuth Malpeddi, David Lee, and Joseph Pilleo.
