Fall Tournament Starts Weds. 10/25

Any students who wish to participate should submit a match by using the link to the right, or see Mr. Mandel or Mr. Sterling to sign up.

Updates for the New School Year

Welcome to all our new players, and to all our veteran players, Welcome Back!
We have several updates for the 2017-18 season:

• 1. Officers

     At yesterday's meeting, there was some discussion of electing officers (President and Secretary) of the Chess Club. Advisors will put together a list of responsibilities for each position, and then students can apply and candidates will be put to a vote.

• 2. Legacy points

     Since this is the second year of online rankings, we are implementing a "fading echoes" system to incorporate previous year's ratings points. See the "rankings explained" page for details.

• 3. Fall Tournament

     The fall tournament will begin the last Thursday in October. In the meantime, make sure you are entering results of all your matches so that seeding can be as accurate as possible.

Stay checking!

Welcome Back!

Welcome back, everyone. Our first meeting of the year will be this Thursday, September 14.

Upset in the Bracket!

Last week, Chris G. knocked off defending champ Franklin L. to open up the bracket bigtime! The second semi-final has yet to be determined, with four players technically still alive: Abdul A, Hamza H, Kevin F, and Samuel M.

The last meeting of the year is this Thursday, June 15th. One way or another, a champion will be crowned.

Students vs. Faculty Results

Last Thursday saw the start - but not the end - of the students versus faculty challenge:

Franklin L. defeated Mr. Chiang
Mr. Sterling defeated Feng C.
Mr. Mandel defeated Kevin F.
Chris G. and Mr. Kennedy played to a draw...

The 5th match - between Henry R. and Mr. Mo did not conclude and was suspended - to be resumed this coming week. That means that the bragging rights still hang in the balance: If Mr. Mo can pull out a win, the Faculty wins the challenge, 3-1-1; if Henry R wins the match, the challenge is split 2-2-1 and bragging rights are up in the air until next year.

Bracket's Here!

Tournament Time!

Next week, Thursday May 18th starts the Spring Tournament. The championship will be decided over the last five meetings of the year.

New players can still get involved. Show up any Thursday to Room 25, or see Mr. Sterling or Mr. Mandel.
