Dear Good People,

 

The State Championship last weekend broke the CalChess attendance record with 396 total players (347 unique players as several players competed in multiple sections). Please check out the standings and the rating report.

 

If you (or your child) didn’t win, you (or your child) gets fresh chances to win on April 9-10, April 23-24, and May 21-22. See more information and/or register now to save your money and our sanity (by reducing the last-week entries). ICYMI, you can get personalized help to register for chess tourneys on Thursdays and Sundays from 7-8 pm on Zoom (https://zoom.us/j/91847146324 ). I recommend investing your time and money in CalChess tourneys before considering other tourneys.
