Whatcom County Scholastic
Chess Championships
Saturday, November 22, 2003
Lynden High School
Simply huge!
243 young chessplayers competed in the Whatcom County Scholastic Chess Championships held Saturday, November 22 at Lynden High School. In the process they set a new record for the largest chess tournament ever held in Whatcom County. Last year's tourney saw 221 players attending.
This follows a general statewide trend reflecting the increase in the popularity of youth chess. Scholastic events this season in Western Washington are filling up well in advance. The Elementary National Chess Championships held last year in Portland broke the attendance record with 2140 players. The Washington State Elementary Championships in Kennewick last April also packed out with over 700 in attendance, and participants could not attend unless they had qualified first by posting a winning record in a qualifying tournament.
The Whatcom County Scholastic Championships were rated by the Washington High School Chess Association. The scoring system gives one point for a win, zero points for a loss, and one half point for a draw. Ties are broken by the "Solkoff" method, which judges which player played the toughest opponents. Elementary and Primary competitors who scored three or more points are now eligible to compete in the State Elementary Championships, to be held in Bellevue next April.
The new Whatcom County champions are as follows:
High School Division: 1st: Jeremy Jusak, Sehome 5.0 points 2nd: Nick Palaveda, Sehome, 4.5 3rd: Stuart Moore, Sehome 4.0 4th: Aaron Fisher, Sehome 4.0 5th: Michael Binder, Sehome 4.0

Whatcom County Championships FAQ
I don't know how to play chess. Is it hard?
Easy to learn, hard to master. Now's a great time to learn! Have a friend show you! Or read (then print) the rules here. Only three things you need to know to play: 1.The starting position. 2.How the six different pieces move. 3.How the game ends. (Get the King!)I'm not a good chessplayer. Should I play?
Sure! Come jam with the rest of us patzers. We're all learning, and you don't have to be a Grandmaster to have fun at chess. Besides, the Swiss pairings system will match you with opponents of equal ability (after a few rounds). And just think of how much better you'll be after a day of chess jamming.I've never played in a tournament. I'm nervous! What do I do?
Have fun and enjoy the competition! You might check out Hey Kids, It's Tournament Time!, a helpful article by the Lakeridge Elementary Chess Club in Seattle.Do I have to write down the moves?
Scorekeeping is required for the 6-8 and 9-12 sections, and recommended (but not required) for the other sections. To learn how, have a teacher or friend show you, or go here. Hey, it's good for you! One of the best ways to improve is to review your games after a tournament. (Besides being able to show your friends the awesome move you made that clinched the game.) Also, learning chess notation opens you to the whole wide world of chess literature. (So, bring a pen or pencil!)If I haven't taken my hands off of the chess piece yet, can I change my mind?
In a rated tournament like this one, if you even touch a chess piece, you must move it! And if you touch an opponent's piece, you must capture it! So sit on your hands until you know what you want to do. If a piece needs to be centered or adjusted, you may do so by first saying "I adjust".How many games will I play?
All players will play five rounds, win or lose. With Swiss pairings, there's no elimination, and you'll always play someone with the same score as yourself (with a few exceptions). So for example, if in the first three rounds you have one win and two losses, you'll play someone else with one win and two losses in the 4th round.Will we use chess clocks? How do they work?
Yes, we'll use clocks in the upper sections and on the upper boards, as they are available. Chess clocks are a great invention. They keep slow players from slowing and losing players from stalling. Here's how it works: After your move, you hit the button nearest you on the chess clock. Your timer stops, and your opponent's timer begins. In this tournament each player will get 30 minutes, thus ensuring that no game goes over an hour. If a player uses up all 30 minutes, it's a loss just like checkmate. If a game without a clock goes really long, the TD may place a clock on that game. So bring a chess clock if you have one, but if you don't, that's okay.Will concessions be available?
Yes. So you can bring either a sack lunch, or lunch money. And rumour has it that The Chess House may be there with chess boards, sets, clocks, software, books, bags, computers, videos, scoresheet notebooks and the ability to answer all kinds of chess questions.How do school team awards work?
The team scoring used will be similar to cross-country meet scoring. That is, in the 3-5, 6-8, and 9-12 sections, the best four results from a single school will be tallied and compared with other schools. Efforts will be made not to pair players from the same school. Eligibility rules are those used by WHSCA for State events at the MS and HS level, and at Elem. level we use the eligibility rules used at Elem. State.Can I turn in the entry form and fee to my teacher?
No. All advance entries must be mailed in. TD Theodore Neff must have it in his mailbox on or before Thursday, November 20. Please mail it in early.Is this tourney an Elementary State Qualifier tournament? Tell me about State.
The largest chess tournament in the state every year is not the Washington Open, the Seafair Open or the State High School Team Championships, it's the State Elementary Championships. Last year it was held in Kennewick and saw over 700 players compete. And consider this: to attend, players had to first qualify by posting a winning record in a qualifying tournament.To qualify for Elementary State, a Washington student "in grades 1-6 must score at least 3/5 in a WSRS-rated Scholastic Chess Tournament in Washington State with at least 32 players per section, and three or more schools participating. Players in Grade K need to score 2/5 in a divison which includes K-2 players."
This school year's Washington State Elementary Chess Championships will be held April 24, 2004 in Bellevue, Washington. (For more info visit the official web site.)
