Some of the special moments from the 10th annual SPF National Open for Boys and Girls in San Mateo, California. This is the strongest SPFNO ever, with more than 400 registered players, 12 qualifying spots for the 2015 World Youth Championships, and over $100,000 in chess scholarships, prizes, and trophies.
BIG BIG thanks to all the parents, coaches, sponsors, volunteers, supporters for making this a fantastic event! We will be back at the same venue on the same weekend next year! Contracts have been signed and more sponsors will be lined up to support our bright young stars.
All pictures will be posted right here by Wednesday.
Dear Susan:
My grandson played chess for Vianney High. Unfortunately we are estranged so all I want to know if he applied to Webster for scholarship. In grade school he was top student in all the grade schools in southwest county. I do not know how he did in high school. His name is …. Some times he uses …. Put his name on internet and he will come up. What I want to know were he is going to college.
Thank you, roy
Dear Roy,
Someone by that name inquired about Webster. However, I do not believe he applied because I have not seen his application on my file.
