Congratulations to Spencer Goslan, a freshman at Berthoud High School in Colorado. He is the 2007 Rocky Mountain K-12 Chess Champion.

The Berthoud High Spartan’s Chess Club acknowledges the accomplishment of Spencer Golsan. Spencer is a freshman who took home the state champion’s chess trophy for the ninth grade division at the 2007 Rocky Mountain K-12 Grade Championship.

The competition, held in Colorado Springs on Nov. 17, attracted nearly 100 chess players from across the state.

Organizers awarded championship through seventh place chess trophies in several divisions in an effort to encourage the growth of chess within the state. Spencer’s state championship follows a first place finish in division D, grades 7-12, at the Colorado State University Invitational held earlier this fall.

Chess Trophies for your champions!
