Huntsville Chess Club Updates for the Week of September 3rd, 2017

Another exciting week of chess is both in the books and upon us!  The 64th Annual Alabama State Championship concluded yesterday, with quite a few familiar faces from the Huntsville area competing.

To see how everyone did, check out the 2017 AL State Championship Tournament Results.  David Hayes tied for the class B prize!

The tournament was held at the luxurious Ross Bridge Resort in Birmingham, AL.  It was definitely one of the nicest venues I’ve seen for hosting a chess tournament.  Kudos to Balagee  Govindan and the Alabama Chess Federation (ACF) for organizing and conducting a great event.

On Sunday, ACF elections were held for all positions.  Of note, Huntsville Chess Club Members David Hayes and Paul Mulqueen were re-elected and elected for the office of Vice President and Secretary, respectively.   Gerald Larson was chosen to serve as the Alabama Chess Delegate for the Denker Tournament of High School Champions.  Congratulations are in order!  We support you all and wish you the best of luck in your new roles in Alabama Chess.  We know you’ll make us proud.

Your regularly scheduled chess meeting will be tomorrow at 5:30pm at the Sunny Street Café in Madison.
