2024 Hot Summer Chess Grand Prix Concludes
It took fifteen hard-fought rounds of chess over the course of five tournaments to determine the champions, but the hot summer dust has settled over the Ferndale desert, and who has emerged from the sandy cloud on top? Blane and Josiah, that's who! And scores of others were tested and strengthened in the crucible of sizzling chessboards. Congrats to the top two, the top ten, and all who gave their observation, calculation and visualization abilities a great workout.
Watch the tiebreaker speed chess game that determined the 2020 Washington State High School Individual Champion (Premier)
Johnathon Dennis (Sehome) vs Cannon Doncaster (Richland).
Blaine, WA - At the Washington State High School Chess Team Championships, Lakeside and Interlake tied for the title after five rounds. Overtime, to determine the State Championship, was a five-on-five sudden death speed chess playoff, each player having three minutes on the clock (with a two second delay). The photo above taken right at the start of the playoff. Who says chess doesn't produce adrenalin? (Photo courtesy of Barry Hanson)
