All About Keeping Notation in Chess

South Sound Chess provides official two-copy US Chess Federation scoresheets for our players at no charge.

These scoresheets allow you to write in pen on the top page and have a copy made on the backing sheet, which is typically yellow. After the game, both players sign the other’s sheet, circle the result, and both players submit their yellow sheet to the Tournament Director while keeping the top white scoresheet for themselves.

So… what’s notation all about?

Tournament Results: April 13th, 2023 (Open Blitz, Unrated)

Our first tournament is in the books!

On Thursday, April 13th, 2023, we hosted ten players for an unrated open blitz tournament at Des Moines Gospel Chapel. Quan Luong got clear first with 4.5/5.0 while Max McCall and Matthew Duran shared 2nd with 3.5/5.0.

We had a puzzle on-site which three people solved correctly. From those three, we drew one random winner, and James Senzee got a $5 gift card to our local sponsor, Marina Mercantile!
