Wisconsin State Quick Chess Championship

Saturday Dec. 13

Erik Santarius Wins his 3rd WI title of the year!





He is now:
WI State Champion
WI State Blitz Champion
WI State Quick Champion

75! (51 in the scholastic) players showed up for the last tournament at Union South. The building will be demolished to make way for a new student union.

This and that..

It looks like I will be able to play in the North American Open, after an 11 year break. In 1997 I scored 2.5/5.0 in the U1800 section.

I started coaching my son's scholastic chess team on a volunteer basis. I am enjoying the experience especially since I have a very enthusiastic group.(7 new USCF members)

We play in our 3rd tournament tomorrow. We placed 3rd in our very first, and tied for 4th the second time around.
