AARON HU RECEIVES WEIBEL CHESS ULTIMATE PLAYER TITLE

Aaron Hu, who is entering 6th grade at Weibel in the Fall, holds his award for receiving the title of Weibel Chess Ultimate Player. This title is provided to Weibel Chess players who maintain a rating that places them in the middle or higher of the U.S. Chess Federation's Top 100 players in the country for their age for three consecutive tournaments. As printed in our information sheet: "Anyone achieving the Weibel Ultimate Chess Player will receive a special acknowledgement crystal four glass post award and a scholarship check for the amount of the team tuition for the year. For all future years the Ultimate player attends the Weibel Team there will be no tuition fee."

Weibel Chess believes that through positive rewards we can excite and stimulate our players to strive to improve their skills. Among the accolades our students receive are chess titles and rankings, membership on our Honor’s Roll which also provides them with a special cap and an Elite Jacket for our top Varsity players. A few unique individuals are inducted into our Hall of Fame with their name engraved on a plaque that hangs in the school office. We believe that this positive reinforcement for their successes explains why we have become a nationally renowned program and one of the largest individual public school chess programs in the country with over 200 students each year.
