Hello Chessplayers!
Get ready for some hot chess! The Hot Summer Chess Grand Prix 2005 series of tournaments will be held June 21, July 19, August 9 and August 30 at the Bellingham Public Library, downstairs in the meeting room. Registration is from 6:00 to 6:10 pm sharp. These events are free and open to 3rd*-12th grade players of all abilities, beginner to experienced, so bring a friend!Revised Format -
Players are placed in different playing groups of approximately equal playing ability based on the latest WSRS ratings. If you are unrated, we'll put you in a beginning playing section appropriate to your age. No change there. However, this summer all players rated 1100 or higher will play in 4-player "Quad" sections, two games, each player getting 45 minutes on the chess clock. The remainder (most) will play in 8-player "Octagonal" sections, three games, with 30 minutes per player on the clock. Also, top players will not be eliminated from Grand Prix award eligibility this season. (Those playing in the top Quad sections will receive a compensating half-point bye for Grand Prix scoring purposes.)The tournaments are rated by the Washington State H.S. Chess Assocation, so tournament rules are in effect: if you touch a piece, you must move it. Bring a pen or pencil, since you must write down your moves. (Instruction on how to do this is available at the event, and online here.) Scoresheets provided, but bring a board and set, and clock if you have one! It's a no elimination tournament, each player plays two or three games, and thus games will be done by 9:45pm each evening (usually earlier).
Hot Summer Chess Grand Prix!
Win the Grand Prix! In addition to small prizes for section winners each evening, the three players who accumulate the most points overall in all four Hot Summer Chess events will be declared Hot Summer Chess Grand Prix Champions, and will receive trophies! The Grand Prix formula rewards players who are improving, so you could win if you put your mind to it! The current, updated WSRS ratings will be used in each Hot Summer Chess tourney.Schedule:
6:00 pm - Registration opens, help with setup
Registration closes at 6:10 pm sharp
Round 1 - 6:35 pm or asap
Round 2 - 7:40 pm or asap (Round 2 at 8:00 for Quad sections)
Round 3 - 8:45 pm or asap
Help with room takedownCost?
The Hot Summer Chess Grand Prix events are offered free. We will have a donation jar present at check-in to help cover the expenses of room rental (the main cost), WSRS rating fees, trophies, scoresheets and other supplies. If we average a donation of $3 per player per tourney, expenses should be covered (depending on turnout).
High Score Engame Contest! - current standings below
Who can post the High Score on the leaderboard we'll be keeping throughout the summer? The High Score is the fastest time to checkmate from the following 3-piece endgame position (shown at right): Both kings on original starting squares, White pawn on e2, White's move. White can win this position every time, even against Kasparov, with correct technique. But beware the stalemate! You are White -- GO!
Rules: Players are allowed only one attempt at each tourney. Attempts may be made anytime after the completion of your second round game. Digital clock will be used. Black will be played by TD's appointee only. When queening, player must put a new queen on the board before hitting the clock. Must move piece and hit clock with same hand. If you knock a piece over or make an illegal move, your attempt is over, no score.Don't be late!
In order to get the tournament going promptly, and concluded on time, registration will close at 6:10 sharp. Or, if there's a line, as soon as the line ends after 6:10. So please don't be late, as the sectional format is not conducive to late entries, and we'd have to turn you away. Thanks!Lend a Hand:
If you do come and play, we would appreciate some assistance setting up and also taking down tables, resetting the chairs and returning the room to its original condition after the event. Thanks!The tourneys are organized by Randy Kaech and co-directed by Randy Walther. If further information needed, email Randy K.
Map and Directions to the Bellingham Public Library *Note: Players younger than 3rd grade may play if they know how to record their moves (learn here) and don't mind stiff competition! Just graduated H.S. seniors are also welcome to play.
