There's more to life than just chess:
Meet our TD, Craig Hines. Retired middle school science teacher with the Evansville Vanderburgh School Corportation.
Inducted into the Indiana State Chess Association's Hall of Fame last year!
Only 8 other individuals in Indiana chess history have been given that prestigious award.
https://indianachess.clubexpress.com/content.aspx?page_id=22&club_id=169378&module_id=90489
You might wonder...........what's a TD?
Here's an explanation from the US Chess Federation for USCF rated events, like many of the ones that Craig has been doing for years.
Our tournament above is NOT USCF rated and especially encourages beginners. Well over half the students playing will be at their first tournament.
Meet my Dad, who still plays skillful chess(barely) at age 97. I give him my queen to start and we have some great battles.
He doesn't have any great chess world achievements to his credit..........except that he taught his son(me) to play chess in 1966 because he wanted to share a fun game with the son that he loves......... and look what happened.
Never underestimate your seemingly limited power to have a positive impact on other individuals that blossoms into something much greater because that person passes it on and amplifies it in their encounters with new people!

We're up to 129 entered, which exceeded my objective of 120.
7 schools that had chess programs in Vanderburgh and Posey county before COVID, no longer have chess, so we were expecting a huge drop from the 180 entered in 2020, the last year we had this tournament.
The March 7, 2020 date of the last tournament, was literally days before everything shut down from COVID.
If it was scheduled for March 14, 2020, 1 week later, I'd still have $800 worth of trophies/medals left and we would have had to refund 180 entry fees. Extremely lucky for us!!
Students get 40 minutes to complete their games. Games not finished will feature both sides having 10 minutes each on their clock.
If checkmate does not happen, the side with the clock that runs out of time loses.
2-27: We increased the # of trophies!
(1st and under; 3 places)...... 4-6 get trophies
•3rd and under: 10 Places....changed 11-20 get trophies
* 6th and under: 13 Places...changed 14-30 get trophies
• 8th and under: 6 Places, 7-10 get trophies
•12th and under: 8 Places, ...changed 9-18 get trophies
We’re over 150 now!
Up to 156 entered so far!
We had 160 students competing on Saturday and it went great.
We barely dodged the severe weather bullet!
https://www.marketforum.com/forum/topic/93541/
Lot's of trees down and power outages in this area on Friday. Losing power at North Junior High would have meant cancelling the chess tournament.
Had the severe weather/heavy rains/fierce winds hit 1 day later, it would have wreaked havoc on our tournament, including a tornado warning for 30 minutes in the middle of it.
A massive oak tree fell across our driveway the day before the tournament.
If that had happened 1 day earlier, it would have been challenging to get there.
The evening before, we had 15+ people helping to set everything up.
I should have some pictures later this week.
