The 2010 Washington State Championship / Premier / Invitational
chess tournaments were conducted as round-robins the weekends of February
6-7 and 13-15, 2010 in Seattle as detailed below. Rounds began
at 10:00 AM and 5:00 PM on the weekends, and at 5:00 PM on President's Day, Monday, February 15.
2/15: As reported by WCF president Duane Polich, "Washington
has a new champion, HS sophomore Howard Chen who was last years Washington
Junior Closed seed into the state championship and managed a respectable score
in a strong field, was able to take it all this year. He was leading by a least
a full point going into the last round and was playing Bill Schill when I left,
looking to at least draw and probably win. This would probably be the second
youngest player to win the state championship behind Yasser Seirawan."
