WRHS Championship Results

Desmond, Nick, Andrew, and Miles 

Nick Bruck is the 2010-11 WRHS Chess Champion and coolly remained undefeated after the third and final day of play.  Half of the tournament included elementary and middle school students, and only seven high school students.  I was greatly disappointed at the lack of participation by our high school this year, however, the games that were played were very good when compared to previous years.  Blunders were there but not as numerous and the openings were much better understood.  Chris "Curly" Ellis and Julia Broderick dropped out of the final games due to school work requirements and some forfeits for the underclassmen were for missing scoresheets.  Prizes for the participants include choice of executive bag with triple weighted pieces, Fritz 11 software, or a vintage, inlaid travel board for 1st - 4th place.

Tournament prizes will be gifted at our end-of-the-year party this next Wednesday at South Valley Pizza (meet at 6 pm).  Afterwards we will go bowling at the Bellevue Lanes.  Also, Varsity letters will be gifted to our seniors:  Nick Bruck, Andrew Uriarte, Miles Hendrix, Chris Ellis, Alex Bates, and Shane Bruess.
