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.
