Big News!!
Fifteen year old WIM Annie Wang, Champion of the Pasadena Chess Club for 2016 & 2017, is now also the World Junior Champion for Girls Under 16.

Final tournament standings
Annie’s FIDE profile

The Pasadena Chess Club meets in the Elmer and Teen Slavik Memorial Building at the Boys and Girls Club, 3230 East Del Mar, Pasadena 91107 (between Rosemead Blvd and San Gabriel Blvd). It's on the south side of Del Mar. Use the west driveway to enter and the east driveway to exit. There is a large parking lot we can use, but occasional events in other buildings on Friday nights might not leave enough parking for everybody, but there is no time limit & no charge for parking on the streets after 6:00 PM, including Del Mar in front of the Boys & Girls Club.

The club will meet from 6:45 to 11:00 PM. Anticipate that start time for all games will move to 7 PM sharp, so we can get out by 11 PM with the same time control we use now (40/90, SD/30).

New Officers: At the meeting on 31 March 2017, the members of the Pasadena Chess Club re-elected the following individuals to their respective offices.

Officers of the Pasadena Chess Club
President and Chief Tournament Director	Scott Hunt schkjv at yahoo.com
Secretary & Treasurer	Tim Thompson timthompson3 at verizon.net

Library policy PDF Document

As a result of a generous donation the Pasadena Chess Club now has available a substantial library of chess books that can be borrowed by members in good standing. To borrow books, contact one of the club officers before or after their tournament game (borrowing library books is an insufficient emergency to justify interrupting a tournament game).

When? Friday nights opening at 6:45 PM, tournament games start promptly at 7:00 PM. Check the schedule below to make sure we are not closed.

Where? Boys and Girls Club, 3230 East Del Mar, Pasadena 91107 (between Rosemead Blvd and San Gabriel Blvd). See description at the top of this page.

The Pasadena Chess Club is one of the older chess clubs still extant in Southern California. During the 1930's the club successfully hosted a number of international competitions, which included the participation of Alexander Alekhine, then world chess champion. Recent events include successful simultaneous exhibitions by SM Levon Altunian and IM Jack Peters (chess columnist for the Los Angeles Times), and the Tim Pellant Memorial Masters Open.

Annual Membership Dues are $30.00 for adults, $10 for juniors under 18. Dues are prorated as the year goes by; club membership is required for all multi-week tournament play and for all regular visitors.
Tournament Entry Fees are $20 plus required membership dues for non-members. Membership in the United States Chess Federation is required as well, for rated tournament play.
Note that annual dues & tournament entry fees have risen slightly, to offset increased costs

The 2017 playing calendar is in the table below. We will post the standings for tournaments as the rounds are completed, and final standings & prizes when the tournaments are completed. A list of club champions follows the calendar.

85% of entry fees returned as prizes (subject to change without notice).
Byes: As many as two half-point-byes may count towards your score for prize purposes.
If a half-point-bye in the last round is to count towards prizes, the TD must be informed before the beginning of the 2nd round.
Forfeits: Any player who forfeits by not showing up within 1 hour of game time will be dropped from the tournament and not paired in subsequent rounds.
To avoid this fate, contact chief TD Scott Hunt before the round at 818-298-5255.
If you want to be paired in subsequent rounds, call Scott and explain that you expect to show up next time.

In the event of questions or disputes regarding clocks, the tournament director will decide.

For all other tournaments:

It depends on who shows up; maybe quads (4 player round-robins by rating), maybe octos (8 player Swiss system), maybe blitz (5 minute, Swiss, double round).

For ALL tournaments:

PLEASE: Bring your own set, board, clock, and writing instrument.
