Just thuinking about the future a bit here.Is there any chess clubs in the HPP/Keauu/even Hilo areas? I'm a player (certainly far from a "top" one though)that loves the game.I coahced a K through 6 chess club for about six years in Bonney Lake, Wa. We held two tournametns-one was a K-6 state championship and we had well over 600 entrants.We had to have both events at Sumner High School because little old Bonney Lake Elementary was way too small.
Do any of the schools have clubs? There have been cases of schools that started chess clubs having their grade point averages go up.
It's just a great game no matter what level one plays at.
I tried a google search some time ago on chess in Hawaii and it wasn't a very fruitful search.
Thanks anyone for your comments on this.
