The Weibel
Chess girls continue their winning streak. On Saturday, April 29,
2017, they won two of the three sections of the CalChess State Girls
Championships held in San Rafael. Irene Xu and Prisha Jain tied for
first place in the K-6 grade section. They both went home with the title
Champion. Winning a CalChess State Championship title is one of the
criteria that places a player in our Hall of Fame. These individuals
have their name engraved on a plate in the Weibel School office. Prisha is already in the Hall of Fame for having won the K-2 Championship title in 2015. Irene will become the 36th Weibel player to have that honor from more than 3000 students that have studied chess at Weibel since 1988. You can view the names and accomplishments of the students inducted into the Weibel Chess Hall of Fame from the link located at http://www.WeibelChess.org.

WEIBEL GIRLS WIN THEIR SEVENTH NATIONAL TITLE, APRIL 7-9, 2017
Weibel girls rock. Their 7th National Championship. This year in the Under 10 section. This means Weibel has won nine U.S. Chess Federation titles. There aren't many chess Teams that can brag about such an accomplishment. Some that do have only won non-Championship sections at the U.S. Chess Federation Nationals. The U.S. Chess Federation designates that only those Teams winning an Open Section can call themselves Champions.
