The first Hot Summer Chess series has wrapped up, and it appears to have been a success. We'll have to do it again next summer! The last tourney on August 21 saw the largest turnout yet, with five sections and players coming from faraway places like Canada and Everett. To celebrate the end of summer, we even broke out the Star Wars Episode 1 chess set! Division winners received a copy of Chess Mates, the scholastic chess publication of the U.S. Chess Federation. And in case you're wondering, the division names are those of established chess openings.

Map and Directions to the Bellingham Public Library

Hello Chessplayers!
Get ready for some hot chess. The Hot Summer Chess series of tournaments will be held at the Bellingham Public Library, downstairs in the meeting room. Registration is from 6:00 to 6:15 pm. These events are free and open to 5th-12th grade players of all abilities, beginner to experienced, so bring a friend! The tournament is rated by the Washington State H.S. Chess Assocation, so tournament rules are in effect: if you touch a piece, you must move it, and if a clock is available each player will get 30 minutes. If you can, bring a board, set and pen/cil. And a clock if you have one! Free entry, no elimination, each player plays three games, and thus all games should be done by 9:30pm if not before.
