The Mechanics’ Institute resident Grandmaster, Alex Yermolinsky, is the 2005 CalChess State Champion, winning the Labor Day Classic. (see coverage on page 3). CalChess President Elizabeth Shaughnessy has resigned, see p. 28 This week it was decided by the Cal Chess board that Alan Kirshner will organize the 2006 Cal Chess Scholastic Championship. In the last few days Dr. Kirshner officially accepted the board’s appointment. This will be the first time that Cal Chess will sponsor its own tourna- ment. In the past financial responsibility was delegated to a 3rd party such as Kirshner, Peterson, Hughes, etc.. This year Cal Chess itself will sponsor the tournament and accept financial responsibility. Dr. Kirshner has kindly agreed to volunteer to organize the tournament on behalf of Cal Chess. Hats off to Dr. Kirshner for his noble gesture. —Eric Hicks Alan Kirshner to organize 2006 CalChess Scholastics!!
