Wachusett CC Youth Win Honors at State Scholastic Singles Championship

Great news involving four of our young players at the club.
Shawn Xu, Zachary Pan, Frank Cao & Krishna Narayanan all played this past weekend (May 20 & 21) in the Elementary Section of the Barry S. Spiegel Cup, which is the state scholastic singles championship.
Shawn finished clear first, 3.5-0.5, and raised his rating to 1931. Zachary and Frank scored 2.5-1.5, and tied for 2nd-5th place with two other players. Zachary's rating went to 1788 and Frank's rating went to 1727.
Congratulations to Shawn for becoming the Elementary Section champion! Congratulations to Zachary and Frank for finishing as runners-up.
Let's congratulate all on Wednesday at the club, letting everyone know of their success. I will have special book prizes for Shawn, Zachary, and Frank for their great performances at the Spiegel Cup. The Wachusett Chess Club is very proud of them and their performances.
-George M.

Francis Scanlon August 8th, 1953 - February 15th, 2023

I am shocked and very saddened to hear of the passing of Frank.I still cannot believe. Frank was one of the most dedicated and loyal members of the Wachusett Chess Club since he joined the club in 1982. I still remember the day he made his first appearance at the club: the last Friday in February 1982, when former world chess champion did a simultaneous exhibition at the club. Frank was there and was part of our chess club history. It was held at the St. Joseph Club in Fitchburg, where the club met in the 1980s and til the mid-1990s.
I plan to hold a Francis W. Scanlon II Memorial Tournament at the club, starting on August 2. I know that Frank's birthday was August 8. We will celebrate Frank's many years as a member of the club. He will be very much missed by many club members who knew and played him.

Hi George,
Thank you for your warm and kind words in remembrance of Frank. He loved being a member of your club and admired you as a mentor and friend.
We are so very appreciative of your decision to hold the Francis W. Scanlon II Memorial Tournament, especially in his cherished birthday month. Nothing would have made Frank happier or prouder. Please let us know how we can help in the planning and on the day of the events. We will make sure to share with you Frank's books and equipment so you can select what you would like to use as prizes.
- Patty Levy (Frank's sister)

Here is the link to Frank's obituary:
https://www.legacy.com/obituaries/legacy/obituary.aspx?n=francis-w-scanlon&pid=203906658&fhid=12986

The tournament will be held on every Wednesday in August: 2, 9, 16, 23, 30.
Yours in honor of Frank Scanlon, a truly memorable and longtime Wachusett Chess Club member.
-George M.
