Sportsmanship Award: Cody Johnson Cody had a great attitude
all day. After losing a game, he invited his opponent (Skyler Slotten) to go play outside and on their way out the door
congratulated Skyler on doing a really great job.
Congratulations to Skyler Slotten, winner of the giant candy bar and
free entry into the upcoming Leapin' Leprechauns tournament. (Ironically, Cody Johnson drew Skyler's name out of a box
filled with the names of kids who completed puzzles between rounds.)
At the beginning of each round we began with the next chapter in the enchanting love story
between Mars, the greek god of war and Caissa the future goddess of chess. Special thanks to Keegan Knutson and Kessina
Lee-Wuollet for their part in the story.
Midway through the day we tried our hands at playing the Fischer Shuffle. A new variant
created by the infamous Bobby Fischer. Each player removed their back row pieces and handed them to their
opponent. White moved first and placed one of black's pieces randomly (or not so randomly) on black's back row.
Then, black did the same for white. Once the pieces were placed, the game began. With no standard opening, it
was quite a challenge to figure out how to get pieces into the game!
After awards, we took a vote and decided to play bughouse instead of blitz.

1st Place The Pawn Duo
2nd Place Surfless Surfboarders

Sportsmanship Award: Marcus Robinson For his kindness and consideration
to all opponents and helping unrated players during the tournament.
Congratulations to the Radical Riddlers section for finding the hidden treasure!
----
Wondering what we did for the mystery portion of the tournament?
Here's the scoop:
After each round, everyone received a question... they were pretty
easy (What is special about a pawn's first move, etc.). Then they had to find someone dressed as a chess piece.
As the day wore on, the piece was harder to find. Once
they gave a correct answer to the chess piece, they were given a one-move mate puzzle to complete.
When finished, they reported to the "Purple Puzzle Person"
(Trudy Spence dressed from head to toe in purple... now that was an amazing site!). The PPP checked the puzzle and if it was correct they received a special hand made dollar bill. Each contestant
was told to keep the puzzle and the dollar for later in the day.
After the fifth round, they were given a 3-move mate puzzle
with four missing pieces. The answers from the previous four puzzles gave the missing pieces and location. (Example:
The first puzzle solution was RE8. So they had to draw a rook on the E8 square of the 3-move puzzle.)
After the awards ceremony everyone gathered together by
section:
Blues Clues (unrated)
Radical Riddlers (U900)
Super Sleuths (0900)
Each group pooled their dollars together. The one with
the most money went first.
They had the choice of buying an ordinary looking drinking straw,
a plain white envelope or an origami animal. (Each item held the same clue, but they didn't know that!)
The Radical Riddlers went first and bought the origami. The
Blues Clues purchased the envelope and the Super Sleuths had the choice of... a straw.
The mad dash began!
They were sent from clue to clue around the building. At one
point, Norm May was dressed as a king (You looked very regal Norm!) and had a clue taped to the bottom of his shoe.
The clues eventually lead everyone back to the chess playing
room. They were looking for an arrow that was pointing at the hidden treasure... it took them a long time to find the
arrow. And I thought this was the easiest part! The giant arrow was made out of chess pieces and was about
70" long.
Hidden throughout the room were paper bags filled with balloons
and in the bottom was a note that said "This is not the treasure." This helped to prolong the suspence.
Everyone eventually found the arrow, but they couldn't tell exactly
where it was aimed. Finally, an astute "Radical Riddler" Everett Lee-Wuollet discovered a treasure box underneath
a coat on a chair. It was filled to the brim with an assortment of candy.
After an attempted hijacking by a frenzied Super Sleuth, the candy
was distributed to the winning team.
They were hot. They were sweaty. They were hyper from
sugar. They were happy.
They even had enough energy to play an elimination Blitz tournament
at the end of it all!
Blitz Results

1st Place Tony Sanchez
2nd Place Bryan Spence
3rd Place Michael Taylor

Special thanks to everyone who helped make this tournament the best one yet...
Jenny Taylor who played the part of the
Big Headed Bishop, the Questioning Queen, the Rascally Rook and the Pouty Pawn. Trudy Spence for making the out-of-towners wonder
if everyone in Clatskanie dressed that way. Norm May for wearing a kingly costume and not panicking when 50 kids
spotted him and made a mad dash in his direction. Janine Salisbury and Tavia Haas for designing a most amazing and elusive
arrow. All of the parents for helping kids who needed a clue. My able bodied crew of volunteers Warren Taylor,
Janine Salisbury, Kessina and Dave Lee-Wuollet, Carrie Card and Robin Fouche'. Joel May, TD in training, for
his Blitz assistance. Amy Boyett, Norm May and Glenn Bray... judges extraordinaire. And all of the kids who participated!
