Last year's results!

Student chessplayers of all abilities are invited to attend the Monday evening Pre-Season Action Chess tournaments this Fall.

"Action Chess" refers to tournament chess games where each player is given 30 minutes for all of their moves, thus ensuring each game lasts less than one hour and enabling a full three-round tournament to be completed in an evening. The term "Octagonals" means players will be placed into sections of eight players based on ability as determined by WSRS rating, and if unrated, then by age.

Registration for the event is between 6:00 and 6:10 pm at the various sites. This year there will be a $3 entry fee per player to cover administrative costs, scoresheets and awards. Medals will be awarded for clear first in each division.

Intended for students from 4th through 12th grades, younger players may play if they know how to record their moves. The tourneys are sponsored by the Northwest High School Chess League. Players who complete the evening event will gain a state level rating, or handicap, as awarded by the Washington High School Chess Assocation.

Directions to Sedro-Woolley High School Library: From north or southbound on Interstate 5 take the Cook Road Exit # 232. Drive eastbound approximately five miles until Cook Road ends at a stop light at the Hwy 20 junction. Go straight at the light, you'll be crossing the railroad tracks and you will now be on Ferry Street. Stay on Ferry Street until you get to a four way stop at Metcalf Street. Turn right on Metcalf and drive about five blocks and it will end at the SWHS Gym parking lot. Park there and walk across 3rd Street to the Main Building. The building's entrance is straight across from the front of the Gym. The Library will be set up for chess. From the entrance turn left at the first hallway and the Library is the first door on the right.
