Last year's results! 258 rated games of Action Chess played!

Student chessplayers of all abilities are invited to attend the Monday evening Pre-Season Action Chess tournaments this Fall.

"Action Chess" refers to tournament chess games where each player is given 30 minutes for all of their moves, thus ensuring each game lasts less than one hour and enabling a full three-round tournament to be completed in an evening. The term "Octagonals" means players will be placed into sections of eight players based on ability as determined by WSRS rating, and if unrated, then by age.

Registration for the event is between 6:00 and 6:10 pm at the various sites. This year there will be a $3 entry fee per player to cover administrative costs, scoresheets and awards. Medals will be awarded for clear first in each division.

Intended for students from 4th through 12th grades, younger players may play if they know how to record their moves. The tourneys are sponsored by the Northwest High School Chess League. Players who complete the evening event will gain a state level rating, or handicap, as awarded by the Washington High School Chess Assocation.

Details:

Registration: 6:00 - 6:10pm
Registration closes at 6:10pm
Clocks Start 6:35 or ASAP
Estimated time of conclusion: 9:30pm (final round begins around 8:40)

Format:
Action chess (30 minutes per player)
Eight player sections, three rounds each ("Octagonals")
Players seeded by rating; if unrated, then by grade

Tournament rules are in effect! Which means, if you touch a piece, you must move it. And both players must record their moves (until one player has five minutes or less remaining on their clock.)

For further information contact NWL directors Randy Kaech or Randy Walther.

NWL GAMMA ACTION OCTAGONALS 
December 2, 2002
Cascade MS, Sedro-Woolley

Note: Chess aficionados everywhere would have enjoyed the final round championship game between Lane and Ricardo. Lane was way behind in material, but was only a rook away from achieving a stalemate. The kamikaze rook, desperately trying to give itself away, chased Ricardo's king literally to all four corners of the board! Ricardo missed a few shots to escape the threatened stalemate, finally being forced to swallow the rook, thus an incredibly drawn game resulted. Spectacular! Amazing! Spectators showered the board with gold coins. ;-)
