I am deeply honored to be the coach of
four CalChess scholastic champions for 2010. The winners competed in three of the five Varsity sections: K-5, K-6 and K-8. Although nearly half of my private students attend high school, I was unable to claim the K-12 division this year because the masters all stayed at home. However, the
Saratoga High chess team won again, now for a state record sixth year in a row!
Way to go students!!!
- James Kwok (top left) -- clear champ in K-8 (fourth title after K-3, K-3, K-6)
- Neel Apte (bottom left) -- co-champ in K-6 (third title after K-3, K-5)
- Kyle Shin (bottom right) -- co-champ in K-6 (second title after K-5)
- Rahul Mohan (top right) -- co-champ in K-5

Another six private students, plus one former student, scored at least 4.5 out of 6 to earn a spot on the informal
2010 All-Fpawn Team. Kudos to
Brian Wai (
K-12),
Arthur Liou (
K-12),
Edward Li (
K-8),
Roland Zhu (
K-8),
Aamir Azhar (
K-8),
Tudor Muntean (
K-8) and
Joshua Cao (
K-6). Our dominance was greatest in junior high, where five of my students ended up in the top eight finishers (
4.5 points or more). Likewise, we claimed three of the top six spots (
4.5 points or more) in the elite elementary section.
Woot!
