Hawaii Interscholastic Chess League Awards & Hawaii Chess News

Aloha Chess & Go players, etc.,

Wow had a very good turn out at the Windward Community College; we were missing a few key teams and players! But there is always next year and other tournaments, right! Please give Guy Ontai & Randy Prothero a huge Mahalo! We even had great weather for the tournament and then the rain came back the next day!

Robert Lau won the High School section winning the right to represent Hawaii at the Denker Tournament of Champions!! He currently has a undefeated 32 CXR games streak, with only three more to equal GM Alek Wojtkiewicz There lot of winners to many to name here But since we sponsored HICL I'll Iist them here and you also check how you and others stood in the HICL standing. Just go to http://www.windwardchess.org/tourresults/HICL.html

Next fun chess tournament is April 1st at Kahuku, two tournaments and Rapids G/15 yes even rated by CXR. And a Bughouse G/5 of course, similar to Iolani's tournament but team and individual event all in one same as our regular touranmets we had all season but a little faster! You can play in one or both tournaments! Even have door prizes for players!

Frank Alejandro will be demonstrating the game of Go as a side bar for those interested, a game 4500 years old and simple to learn but like chess will take a life time to master as IM Edward Laker stated in his book on Go!! Please visit http://www.windwardchess.org/ to learn more about both games as well as links to chess sand go programs and meeting locations of clubs! Anyway more details on the last items later!
