WHAT YOU WILL
FIND INSIDE:
The links on the navigation bar to the left take you to:
1) My listing of tournaments in Northern California (classified as a separate
state by the US Chess Federation). For a complete list of tournaments
you can check at the CalChess site linked from the side button.
2)Photographers love showing off their pictures taken at the tournaments
and they are free to download from the link to the left. You will also
find the results from those tournaments.
3) The Newsletters link takes you to the monthly information sheets I sent
to the 5,000 people on my mailing list when I served as CalChess Scholastic
Chair. You will also find on this page my more recent newsletters and the Dragon
Journal edited by Frisco del Rosario, an SCS Instructor, and former
editor of the CalChess Journal. I am now mailing to over 10,000
people.
4) One of the pages I have had the most demand for was my bi-monthly update
of Northern Cal youth chess players on the USCF Top 100 Age Group lists. National
Master Michael Aigner has taken over this task. My link now takes you
to his website.
5) The FAQ (frequently asked questions) attempts to
provide you with answers to a number of the inquiries I get from the parents
of the youth chess players in Cal North.
6) The photo and article it links to in
the right column is of a dear friend who was one of the movers and do'ers
in northern California chess from the mid-1960's until his untimely death
in 2006. ENJOY!
The Age Level Championships have been the most popular and
largest event in Northern California besides the Cal Chess Scholastic States for
the last 5 years. Last year the tournament drew 515 players. This year
it has been capped at 600.
