Photos from CalChess Scholastics

(The playing hall was huge! I actually enjoyed speeding around in my wheelchair.)

A number of accomplished photographers graced the San Jose McEnery Convention Center last weekend to record the sights and sounds of the biggest annual chess tournament west of the Continental Divide. The following individuals toiled for hours to bring you over one thousand pictures of smiling young chess players. Please recognize their work by visiting the websites below.

• Richard Shorman (nearly 200)
  
• Mark Shelton - Saturday and Mark Shelton - Sunday (nearly 400)
  
• Alan Kirshner (over 300)
  
• Krzysztof Kozminski (nearly 100)
  
• Michael Aigner (over 100)
  

I will post a final report and photo impressions from all of the Championship sections (K-3, 4-5, 4-6, 7-8 and 9-12) on this blog on Friday, after my flight to Chicago. By a stroke of luck, I managed to obtain photos of the winners in each division.
