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.

  1. Adam,

    I am very impressed with your club championship this year. I think it runs better as a Swiss. When it was a round robin in past years, there were lots of forfeits, and they took their time playing the games (and sometimes not at all).

    I am most impressed with the way you’re teaching the kids to record their games…that you actually forfeited games for lack of a score sheet. Harsh, but a great lesson! In the real world of ICA, we do require score sheets, and Jay Simonson has gone so far as to not pair the State Champion in the next round for failure to turn in his game (all in accordance with the official rules). So I think it’s great that you’re making them record their moves.

    Sincerely,
    Jeff Roland
