The Institute's Chess
Camp which was held July 31 to August 4, was well received. Twenty-five
campers, ranging in strength from Master to 1200, learned from GMs Suat
Atalik and Alex Yermolinsky, IM Guillermo Rey and NMs Robert Haines and
Anthony Corrales.
Classes were held
each day from 9 AM to 5 PM and covered a wide variety of material. The
last day of camp, a handicapped Blitz tournament was held. Expert Elliot
Temple won the event, followed by Gary Huang and Michael Pearson. The normal
time control of five minutes was used, but for every 200 rating points
difference players had to give a one minute handicap.
