2006 Washington
State
Championship / Premier
Congratulations to Slava Mikhailuk for successfully defending
his championship! Slava is the Washington State Chess Champion for the fourth
consecutive year!
The 2006 Washington State Championship / Premier tournaments were conducted as round-robins the weekends of February
11-12 and 18-20, 2006 at the University of Washington, Tacoma Campus, 210 Dougan
Hall, approximately S. 17th Street & S. Jefferson Avenue, Tacoma, WA. Rounds
began at 10:00 AM and 4:30 PM on the weekends, and at 1:00 PM on
President's Day, Monday, February 20.
Through a $3,000
donation of Dr. James Roberts and Mr. Erik Anderson, the prize fund is $4,000
for the Championship. First $1,000, Second $550, Third $200, Plus $50 per full
game points earned by each player. The winner of the Championship tourney is the
2006 Washington State Chess Champion. The prize fund is $800 for the Premier.
First $300, Second $200, Third $150, Fourth $100, Fifth $50. The winner of the
Premier tourney wins a seed into the 2007 Championship tourney if certain
activity requirements are met.
This year a requirement has been added that each player must
annotate at least one game from each weekend's play, and submit it to the
tournament director by the end of the next week. Prizes will not be paid until
this small obligation is completed. These notes will be used in Northwest Chess
Magazine so that the Championship event while serving primarily the best
players, may also be a service to the main membership.
In addition, for the players in the Championship, an
additional prize of $1,000 to the player who comes in first under the BAP rules
as explained at www.Slugfest.org under the
title “Corus, only in chess...” has been generously provided by Mr. Clint
Ballard.
