Aloha,
Once again Cornelius Rubsamen Q 2059, CXR 2248, is Hawaii's Rapids State Champion for 2006 with a prefect score 0f 7.0 points, Chet J Gionson Q 1882 CXR 2005 came in 2nd with 6.0 points and Robert M Lau Q 1812 CXR 2043, Sujeet D Mehta Q 1604, & Gavin Ontai Q 1218 came in tied for third with 5.0 points. Had 31 chessplayers, of which 17 were scholastic players. All were U.S. Chess Federation players and 20 were current CXR members. CXR = Chess Express Ratings www.cxrchess.com. Note: July 16 the new CXR web site will be active, its currently undergoing final beta testing!
The Hawaii Rapids State Championship was held outdoors in the Mililani Town Center under the Gazebo TD was Guy Ontai, the weather was warm and so there were lots of fireworks on the Fourth of July "over the Chessboards". The giant chessboard was out and there was lots of action on it!
No chess notated games have been emailed to me yet, but will place them here as well any photos that become available!
There still lots of chess action left this summer before the Hawaii State Championships (details forecoming). See calendar below. Its may include a scholastic section this year USCF rated and CXR rated of course! This will count as the first HICL- Hawaii Interscholastic Chess League event followed by the Sept 30 3rd Annual Le Jardin Academy tournament.
Also please visit one of local chess clubs, Mondays -Honolulu Chess Club at Manoa Valley District Park, Kailua Chess Group at Kailua District Park, Tuesday - Pearlridge Chess Club at Pearlridge Mall, Wednesday - Windward Chess Club - Kailua District Park, Thursday - Mililani Chess Club at Mililani Recreation Center #6. There also the Waikiki Tables by the beach and several Starbucks have informal chess groups meetings at various locations!
