HAYES GOODMAN WINS 2019 HOLIDAY PARTY OPEN CCM 185


HAYES GOODMAN WINS 2019 HOLIDAY PARTY OPEN

Winning clear first with a 3-0 score is Hayes Goodman from RI. Goodman,14, has been competing against adult players since 2014.

Joe Bihlmeyer and Jithu Sajeevan finished the event each with two wins and a draw, thereby tying for second place.

Ten entered the tournament held at Mill Brook Place, Main Street, Coventry CT.

The Tournament Director, Rob Roy, filled in as Houseman for rounds 2 and 3, after a player dropped out after round 1.

I wish to thank everybody that came to play, and to also express special thanks to the individuals mentioned below who helped me with various tasks.

Dan Smith arrived early and setup the tables and chairs. Jithya and Jithu Sajeevan folded up and put away the tables and chairs.

Joe Bihlmeyer, an instructor at the New Britain Chess Club, gave an analysis of his first round game, which was enjoyed by a half-dozen spectators.

Hayes Goodman donated $40 that enabled the club to break even with expenses for the day. Rob Roy provided free drinks and snacks.

Our upcoming tournaments will happen Jan 18, Feb 22, Mar 21, and Apr 18.

New Chess Club in Hamden CT

 

Rod Groff has taught countless other kids and adults to play chess, and what was once a hobby has become a business. In October, he moved his growing chess academy, Play More Chess, to a new storefront in Hamden’s Whitneyville neighborhood. Housed in a former bank, the part-school, part-gathering place includes an old vault, now used for storage, and a teller’s window that’s the perfect nook for a table, two chairs and a chess board.

In total, there’s seating for about 22 players upstairs and down at Play More Chess. One corner of the main floor serves as a mini classroom, where Groff used a chessboard banner to demonstrate possible moves to a group of boys in the Intermediate I class, otherwise known as Knights, one recent afternoon. They’d brought their workbooks, and Groff had a lesson plan posted, starting with some new terms like “skewers” and “capped pieces.” These kids had already learned the basics of play, and they were ready to build in some strategy.

Younger students move through the curriculum—a series of published workbooks—at their own pace in four-week blocks. Small group lessons are $18 per hour. But Play More Chess isn’t just for kids. Adults make up about half of Groff’s clientele, both learners and experienced players looking for a place to play and new opponents to play against. Adults sign up for lessons through Hamden Adult Education (you don’t have to live in Hamden to register) or purchase a membership for $8 a month, which allows them to drop in during scheduled casual play hours or anytime Play More Chess is open for a pickup game. Groff also teaches in after-school programs at Hamden’s Spring Glen and Bear Path elementary schools.

GAME OF THE WEEK   by Alan Lasser


Black sacrifices a rook in order to be on the attack for the next ten moves in a typically mind-boggling more-pieces-than-pawns position, where, even if you had a mate in twenty-one, you might not see it.
