2010 Idaho Closed Results

Emily plays Larry Parsons (16 time State Champion)
I have been to the Idaho Closed for the past few years and this by far was one of the most fun events I have attended.  I think it has helped to have generated such great friends that can also be competitors against one another in tournaments.  There was lot's of laughter and serious discussion in the business meeting, challenging games, a great venue at Boise State University, lifetime awards to dedicated individuals, and a very fun awards ceremony.  I would encourage all chess players to attend this event in the future - I miss it already.

Games are posted at the ICA website.

There were 42 competitors, 6 chess families (Porth's, Patterson's, Weyland's, Abernathy's, Abderhalden's, and the Min's), 7 women players, 13 junior players, and 4 senior players.  Five players rated above 1800,  six players under 1000, and 2 unrated players. The average rating was 1360.  There were 4 former state champions, and 3 former scholastic champions.  Glen Buckendorf attended his 53 consecutive Idaho Closed tournament.  
Glen receives a lifetime achievement award from the ICA

Congratulations to Phil Weyland, Larry Parsons, and  Jason Evers with 5.0/6 pts. and Idaho's Tri-Champions.
Jeff and Barry go over the awards

* As there was a 3-way tie for first place, the title of "Idaho State Chess Champion" is awarded to all three players as co-champions.
** Book #1 was "Aron Nimzovich: A Reappraisal" by Raymond Keene. Book #2 was "Lessons From My Games: A Passion For Chess" by Ruben Fine. Both books personally autographed by 10-time Idaho State Champion, Glen Buckendorf, Jr.
Andrew and Adam win 1st & 2nd Class E (We are now D!)
