sponsored by the Bear Scholastic Chess Club

year round information available here


The First Junior tournament in the First State

The 2005-2006 school year tournament will be held over two Saturdays: January 14th and January 21st of 2006. It is a closed tournament - in other words it is by invitation only. Here is the announcement for this year's tournament.

We'll track those who could have eligible ratings by the cutoff date (December 10, 2005) here. You must have 13 or more rated games to be issued an invitation! ratings revised: 2005-08-23

It looks like initial invitations will be sent out to folks whose ratings are 800-900 and above. Depending on how many people accept, you may get in if your rating is 750 or higher! Work hard!

Good Luck! Rick and I are pretty excited about this tournament!
