3rd Annual Chess Tournament
Sept 30, 2006
To see blog version (click here)
The Hawaii scholastic chess tournament season started with 106 chess players in three sections, Open, Novice, and Parent. I was hard pressed for time due to having to explain things to my assistants with little time to spare. But we manage, with a few delays at the start and having to drop round six. I made some errors and finally corrected the awards as they should be. (There will be additional awards handed to those who are listed on the Open section. I had fun overall and will look forward to next year's tournament, we went from 35 to 46 to 106 players (in three years) and I expect next year will be even larger and better. Will make sure we get started on time and that everyone helping is aware of what needs to be done. We could not could have done everything without Kam School booster group providing the food and Damien School providing us with some entertainment and bringing in their football team as well as few other schools singing their school songs! The gaint chess set was a hit.I also like to give a big Mahalo to Le Jardin Academy for allowing to have this tournament on campus and we hope to keep having it here!
Open section was rated by both CXR www.cxrchess.com and HICL
