First let's start off with congratulations to Ben Rothschild and Michael Auger for their performances in the ICCA state HS individual championships held last weekend at Lincoln-Way HS. Ben won 1st place at the event, and since he has already qualified by rating for the Denker tournament, that honor goes to Michael Auger who finished 2nd.
I would have liked to stop by that tournament personally but with directing a scholastic event at St. Mary's in Mokena Friday evening, and the 150 player Kumbaya event on Sunday, that was enough chess for the weekend.
Another new blogger has joined the arena, Sevan Muradian's new blog http://nachess.blogspot.com/ is focusing on what goes into organizing a well run event. This will be not only useful for the aspiring organizer, but also to players who don't see all the work that goes into an event and why an organizer does something one way vs another.
Sevan's blog is a little similar to the essay I am working on for how to direct a well run scholastic event. This probably will be about an 8-10 page document when I am finished, and if anyone has a desire for a topic on this to be addressed, give me a shout.
