PoCo chess club loses to SFU 4-5 in rapid league

The round 5 matches of the Vancouver Rapid League were rescheduled for Thursday February 16. Thursday is the one day I can't get away so David Bissell became the captain and we had to scramble to find two players.
​And we did. Javid Mavaddat (1800) and Anna Van (1430) came to play for our team against SFU. The scores matched the order of appearance.
​David Bissell came through with 3/3, Javid scored 1/3 and Anna (0/3). Anna found the fast 15 10 time control challenging. I know how she feels. I practice it on chess.com with 15 10 rapid tournaments. It takes time.

​Our next match will be more difficult as we face the Chigorin Chess Club which is captained by NM/FIDE CM Roman Jiganchine. Monday February 27, 2017 at 5:30.

Chess player milestones!

Chess players lucky enough to improve their game reach different milestones during their playing years. Becoming a chess club champion is one of them. I came close second once in North Vancouver behind National Master Joe Oszvald. Then in 2005, I finally did it. I had to get through a huge flex double round robin to do it. It took a few months but I achieved this huge milestone. See trophy below.
​When club president Chris Dickson moved to Maple Ridge, the Royal City Chess Club in New Westminster folded.
​Chess club champions are usually rated over 2000.
​My plan now is to organize regular, rapid and blitz championships at our Port Coquitlam chess club. That way more players can reach their milestones.
