pannerchess: March 2008
http://pannerchess.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 30, 2008. Weekend update and more applause. My last post went to press before Marc Arnold also clinched an IM norm at the last NACA FIDE event. Late this week I hope to be blogging from Dallas at the National JH Championships. Friday, March 28, 2008. Congratulations to Mehmed Pasalic. As the title says, congratulations FM Pasalic. For those of you that have not yet had the pleasure of meeting Pasalic, let me take a few moments to tell you a little about him. Monday, March 24, 2008. EDIT: Fo...

Sunday, September 14, 2008. Blaze take on the Sluggers. Monday night the Chicago Blaze take on the Seattle Sluggers and their creepy overcaffeinated knight mascot. As we are sitting at 1.5-1.5 we are on pace to make the playoffs which can be done with a 5-5 result. Seattle presents and interesting challenge as they will be putting out their 2 GM lineup, and we are out rated on 3 of the 4 boards. Saturday, September 13, 2008. Colias best game prizes.

pannerchess: November 2008
http://pannerchess.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, November 16, 2008. 91 Players in Orland! 91 players in Orland Park? The title even looks surreal. This month attendance exploded, and we almost ran out of space. Next month it would be amazing to try to top 100! We will be raffling off prizes for the Holidays as we did last year. The Illinois All Grade. But of course, the big story was the kids. Results can be found at http:/ chessforlife.com/chess/allgrade08/allgrade08.html. Also, to any of the top finishers from the event or their coaches that ...

pannerchess: My Silence
http://pannerchess.blogspot.com/2010/02/my-silence.html
Monday, February 1, 2010. I have been sick for the last week or so, and without a voice, which has been interesting (and rather entertaining for my 4 year old). In spite of that I have directed tournaments the last two weekends, and am in a stretch where I direct the next 3 weekends (Blaze fundraiser, US Amateur Team, and Kumbaya). Hopefully this weekend I will have a new laptop to direct on, replacing my vintage 2001 Toshiba! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Blaze and Warren Fundraiser.

pannerchess: August 2008
http://pannerchess.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
Sunday, August 31, 2008. Visiting the St. Louis Chess Club. As every year at this time I am sentenced to hard labor day time in South Central IL (not LA), I decided I would make a break for it this year and drive the hour to St. Louis and check out the chess club that has gotten so much pub. That and I really did not want to see one more meal that was fried, pork, or fried pork. So I drove down. It really is too bad that we don't see more places like this in other cities. The one question I did not g...

pannerchess: January 2008
http://pannerchess.blogspot.com/2008_01_01_archive.html
Friday, January 25, 2008. This past week was a lost one in the Panner household as we all succumbed to a flu bug. Now that I am back somewhat healthy, I figure it is time to comment on some of the chess things that occurred over the last week. I realize the year is less than a month old so far, but Topalov-Kramnik at the Corus tournament had to have been the game of the year thus far. Saturday, January 19, 2008. Section 4 will be a section for class players. Right now I am thinking for ratings betwee...

pannerchess: USCF Chess Coach Certification program
http://pannerchess.blogspot.com/2010/01/uscf-chess-coach-certification-program.html
Wednesday, January 20, 2010. USCF Chess Coach Certification program. Today I received word that my application for level 4 chess coach certification has been approved. If you are not familiar with the program, USCF has started to put an official stamp on those who are qualified to teach chess. So the question is, does certifying coaches have merit? And how important will it be to schools in the coming years? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). USCF Chess Coach Certification program. For those of you that...
