Big changes for Webster University Final Four Championship team

by PT (Director of Marketing & PR for SPICE)

Update: April Fools

After Webster University won the third straight College Chess Final Four Championship by an overwhelming margin, major opportunities opened up for members of this historic team. Within 24 hours after bringing back to St. Louis the President’s Cup, a major fitness company located in Chicago made a serious financial offer to some members of team. The deal is supposed to be finalized within the next week or so.

It is expected to be a 3 year contract with the players’ option for the 4th year. Some members of the team will receive six digit contract offers annually plus substantial bonuses to be the company’s official spokespersons.

“We are all very excited about this incredible opportunity to turn pro. We are all so much into chess and fitness. This is simply perfect!”, said GM Fidel Corrales Jimenez, a computer major junior. “My former teammate Wesley So made millions turning pro after being victorious at Millionaire Chess. Winning the Final Four for the 3rd consecutive time also opened new opportunities for other team members as well”, added GM Corrales.

Susan Polgar, head coach of the Webster University championship team, is very happy for her players. “We wish them the best. It is hard to replace some of the top talents. But we will have new 2600+ freshmen coming in next year to try to go for a 4-peat.”

It is very exciting times for Webster chess. Stay tuned for further developments.
