Tournament Results

We had a hard day at the chessboard. (The good news was that Luke's 2 losses were to trophy winners.) Most new players don't show up at tournaments until January, so I think the next tournament will be a little easier at the lower end of the spectrum.
Name   1 2 3 4 5 Chg Merit
Luke   L L B W   -40 21
Graham L L L B   -36  3.75
Adrien L L L L L -23  1
TOTAL 3W 10L

We have an opportunity to enter the Jr High League where we play our top five against another school's top 5. This is a very different format than a tournament and it gives the number 3, 4 and 5 players a chance to do well. We can bring extra players who can be rotated into the line-up. Extra players will play a scrimmage game for fun.

Right now I'm projecting the students would qualify for the team. Think about if you'd like to participate.
Board 1 Owen
Board 2 Luke
Board 3 Miles
Board 4 Graham
Board 5 Shanmuka

I'm taking orders for chess sets

I can get good deals if we have lots of orders. Price listed is maximum - probably will be $1 less

All chess sets include pieces (extra Q's), vinyl board, and a case with handles and a place for a board, comes in black, blue, green, or red.

Standard case $13
Superior case $15 (larger bag, longer sleeve)
Deluxe case  $27  (room for pieces, clock, and board) (comes in 25 colors, patterns)

If you're interested in more details or other options (e.g. clocks, scorebook, etc) go to USChessSales
