Chess Jam 2000
Ethan Neff, Lane Van Weerdhuizen Go Undefeated
Sixty students from all around Western Washington participated in the 3rd annual Chess Jam 2000, held February 12 at Ferndale High School. Games began at 9:50am and chess play continued until the awards ceremony at 6:00pm.
The festivities included an exhibition speed chess match between Washington High School Chess Association director Paul Zurybida and Whatcom County chess master Elliott Neff, along with the awarding of ten door prizes.
New Chess Jam champion Ethan Neff proved his high rating is no fluke as he went undefeated against a very tough schedule. Jam Junior champion Lane Van Weerdhuizen (only a 5th grader!) solidified his reputation as a player to watch out for, surviving some close games to go undefeated in seven rounds.
Host school Ferndale won the team title in the High School division. In the Junior Division Lynden M.S. earned champion status, while the freshly-formed Fairhaven Middle School chess club came in second.
Besides trophies for the top three in each division, Gold, Silver & Bronze medals were awarded to the top three finishers in each grade.
