Hot Summer Chess Grand Prix 2026
Way back in June of 2026, it took nine hard-fought rounds of chess over the course of three tournaments to determine the champions, but the hot summer dust settled over the Ferndale desert, and who emerged from the sandy cloud on top? Finn, James and Jethro, that's who! And scores of others were tested and strengthened in the crucible of sizzling chessboards. Congrats to the top three, the top twelve, and all who gave their observation, calculation and visualization abilities a great workout. Prepare for the Dog Days of Summer 2026 Grand Prix!
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)
