NW Regional Scholastic – Northwest Chess Blog

On 16 May, the grand on-line chess experiment continues with a new event, the Northwest Regional Scholastic Championships!

When shelter-in-place orders forced the delay or outright cancellation of chess events with packed playing halls full of potentially contagious people, the Washington Chess organizers quickly moved to well-planned on-line events. But somebody (naming no names) noticed that not all of the states in the NW region were able to make the shift, possibly leaving kids unable to participate in State Championships this school year.

How about adding a new event? Instead of, or in addition to, the State Championships, how about a Regional Championship? How about the Northwest Regional Scholastic Championship, 16 May, on chess.com?

There you have it. Check out this link for details.
