Congratulations to Charlie Bouzoukis for winning the 2010 Delaware State Championship, AGAIN! By my count, this makes 10 wins over the past 19 years – way to go Charlie!
David Gertler and Prasanna Kannappan also finished with a 4/5 and are considered co-champions with Charlie, but Charlie won the trophy by tiebreaks.
In the under 1600 section, Art Sargent, and Derek Mizushima tied for first with a score of 4 each. Art Sargent won the trophy on tiebreaks.
The full results can be viewed here. The prizes distribution can be viewed here.

Hello friends,
I am organizing the 2010 P.A. State Chess Championships, to be held in Warminster, P.A. on the weekend of October 16-17. (not to be confused with the state scholastic championships, that are held in Carlisle every year in March) Warminster is only about a 40 minute drive from downtown Philly and since the state championship is only held on the east side of the state every 3rd year, I am hoping everyone will take advantage of the opportunity to participate this year. The tournament will also include a separate scholastic only event held at the same site on saturday October 16th (scholastic players also have the option to play in both, with .5 pt byes for the first 2 rounds of the championship)
Below are the “TLA” advertisements which are being listed with the US Chess Federation. Let me know if you have any questions.

Herbert W. Gustafson, who died in 2008, was a great lover of correspondence chess. His trust left very generous bequests to both CCLA and USCF to be used for correspondence chess. In recognition of his generosity to both organizations, CCLA will be holding the Herbert W. Gustafson Open Tournament starting October 15 instead of its usual Fall Server Series. This semi-class event, played on the ICCF server, will truly be Open, as any resident of the United States or Canada may enter with No Membership Requirement and No Entry Fee.
Sections will be formed in order of rating, with each section having four players playing two games against each opponent. (There may be a few five-player sections if needed to accommodate all the entrants.) There will be prizes, in the form of $19 credits to each section winner (split in case of a tie) that may be used for a CCLA membership or, for CCLA members, entry fees into other CCLA events. Entries will close on October 15, 2010. Only one entry per person will be accepted. As with other CCLA events, the use of chess-playing computer engines is not allowed.
If you are interested, please email herbhickman@comcast.net with your name, your rating (please specify organization), the email address you intend to use with your entry, and your ICCF ID# if you have one.
Information Needed…Do you have an ICCF ID?
If YES, then
* What is your ICCF ID number:
* What e-mail address is registered on the server:
If NO, then what is your:
* First name:
* Middle Initial (recommended):
* Last name:
* E-mail address you want move notifications/start sheets sent to you

Congratulations to Vlad Anderson for winning the 2010 Delaware Series Challenge. Vlad finished with 10 points just ahead of William Wong, who also had 10 points. Vlad wins the trophy on tiebreaks but the free entry into this year’s Delaware State Championship will be split between both Vlad and William. Yury Markushin finished third in the open division with 8 points. Congratulations also go to Glenn Davis for winning the under 1600 division with a very impressive 9.5 points! All the final standings can be seen on the Series Challenge page located here. A big thank you to the organizers of each event and to all who participated!
