Hola everyone!
The Chicago Open was held in Chicago, Illinois May 21 - 25, 2015. This is a FIDE rated event.
The Open section players list reads like a "Who's Who" in U.S. Chess! Many participants in the 2015 U.S. Chess Championship were among the field. All tolled, 113 players were in the Open, including U.S. National Master Rachel Ulrich (WI 2200). The great news is that Rachel earned a WIM norm for her performance in the Open, finishing with 4.0/9.
Final cross-table with standings.
Meanwhile, sister Susanna Ulrich (WI 1566) played in the U1900 Section and finished with 4.0/9.
Final cross-table with standings.
Many Wisconsinites played in the Chicago Open. Check it out!

Hales Corners Chess Challenge XVIII
Hola darlings! [Sure hope what follows makes sense -- no guarantee because my proof-reading abilities, always "iffy" at best, sure aren't working tonight.]
I came, I saw, I - well, I got a draw! LOL! And it was a good draw too, I think, in R3. I had the white pieces against a 1300 player (I'm at 603). More about that later.
I took TWO photographs during the entire tournament -- of the outside of the building!
Below is photo #2 -- my entire cache of photos taken the entire day. Am I getting senile, do you think???
The photos above were meant to be the start of a photographic essay on the odessey of my trials and tribulations during Challenge XVIII. Geez Louise! Didn't even think to pull out the camera in the skittles room. I'm usually the photo-taking queen - snapping photos of everything in sight, including coffee carafes and errant score sheets and signs on restrooms and the errant butt-crack or two. But - not a PHOTO showed up on my antique Nikon this evening.
I'm too tired to check tonight, but I do believe there are a few photos of Ellen Wanek, Janet Ulrich and I on my camera, taken by a passer-by parent or player we asked to "shoot us, please" in the lobby of the hotel prior to the start of R1. Assuming those photographs do, in fact, exist and I didn't imagine the whole thing (reference my imaginary moves in R3, below), AND I don't look like the Bride of Freddy Krueger in them, I'll publish them tomorrow.
I stayed for R4. I already had a bad head-ache but I so wanted to see how it would turn out for everyone, and to see if I could press for a win (gasp!), a draw, or a game I would feel good about my effort despite a loss. Mistake. I should have just hung out in the skittles room during R4 and not played. But I didn't. I had the black pieces in R4 and for some reason, probably because I am just so perverse sometimes, I often manage to play better with the black pieces than with white. Maybe it's just because I try harder when I have the black pieces. So I thought I might have another "competitive" game, competitive by my lights, and entered the round with pounding temples and high hopes.
I am rather proud of how I played those first three rounds earlier today. No excuses, though, for crashing and burning in less than 10 moves in R4. How embarassing! As per usual, I did not see the checkmate coming AT ALL. Arrrggghhhh!
The best news on a personal level is that I never felt close to tears the entire time I was at Challenge XVIII, and I'm happy about that. I thought it might - could - happen. Brace yourselves-- and for those of you too young to appreciate true romanticism, or those of you who gag at the slightest hint of l'amour -- DO NOT READ WHAT FOLLOWS!
Last night I watched "Return to Me," on regular old t.v. (no cable or U-Verse in this house). I watched it 'cuz I had paid to watch it online some years before, in happier days when Mr. Don was still with us, and I was so touched by it. It is a wonderful romantic movie made in 2000, starring Minnie Driver and David Duchovny ("X-Files"), with a great supporting role of "Grandpa" played by Carroll O'Connor -- and I cried and cried and cried! Sobbed my butt off (I wish it had actually shed some pounds but, alas, it did not, according to the scale this morning). Oh yes, I know, how absolutely STOOPID of me to watch Such. A. Film. On. The. Eve. Of. The. Anniversary. Of. Mr. Don's. Death. Duh, Jan!
Okay - here's the transcendent part of this uber-emotional experience last night -- I had my patio door open to the temperate evening to let in fresh air while I was working at my dinette table (am I the only person on the planet who still calls that dining space between kitchen and family room a "dinette") and the t.v. playing in the family room, with one eye on the laptop screen and one eye on the t.v. (I have developed ambidexterous eyes over the years...). Then I started crying as the movie progressed, and then sobbing (loudly) during the happy and sad parts of the movie, and then the squirrels who are nesting in my back yard garden (many trees) started chiming in, too, with their cries, at about 10:30 p.m.
OH MY! Not kidding -- Quite a sob-fest. I didn't make a recording, though, to prove it to you, LOL! (I have no idea how to do that on my now 'ancient' Nikon Coolpix 5600 that has about 3 split seconds worth of recoding time, anyway). I'm laughing about it now, recounting it in this blog entry, and last night, I was laughing and crying about it at the same time. Those female squirrels who were "singing the blues" with me last night, some of them I've practically fed by hand with nuts since I was first able to entice them to come up to the patio door for a food offering (peanuts and in-shell hazelnuts).
Laugh or Cry! I didn't shed a tear today. I talked about Don with Ellen, and with Janet Ulrich, mom to the fabulous chessplayers Anne, Rachel and Susanna, and I was okay - not close to shedding a tear. I'm so happy to have finally met Janet Ulrich in person -- we had some long chats in the skittles room between rounds. Jim Ulrich, the head of the family, also played in Challenge XVIII.
About that draw in R3. OF COURSE I did a "Jan" and somehow managed to add one extra set of moves into the game, geez! I messed up the moves early -- on move 7. But fortunately Ellen and I were looking over my score sheet after the game with the intent of playing through the game to see where I might have done better, and we got to the strange moves early. I checked with Paul Kaye, the young man I had the W pieces against in R3, and we went through our score sheets. They agreed on the first 6 moves, disagreed on the 7th and 8th sets of moves. I had one more line of moves (29 versus Mr. Kaye's 28 in all) on my score sheet! After lines7-8 on my score sheet, and line 7 on Paul's sheet, we agreed on the rest of the moves.
After puzzling it over in the skittles room with Paul and Ellen, and as well as my fried and aching brain can figure out this evening, it looks like I wrote down a phantom move for my 7th move with white, wrote down my actual move with white under Paul's (black) move on line 7, wrote down another bogus move for me (white) on line 8, and recorded the correct move for Paul (Knight to d7) under black on line 8.
On my score sheet, from move 9 down, our notations match. This was line 8 on Paul's scoresheet. I'll scan it here tomorrow showing my notations and scribbles after consulting with Paul. See what you think.
HOW ON EARTH DOES THIS HAPPEN? No, I did NOT have my camera out or have to go to the bathroom (I am careful to always visit the Ladies' Room a few minutes before I seat myself for the ensuing round) and thus got distracted...
Of the three games I felt I played with my best effort, I was happy with them (in terms of thinking about my moves, not worrying about time on the clock but trying to think things through before making a move that looked good on the surface but was a death in a move or two, trying to plot out alternative strategies and "what-ifs," trying to make my pieces dance, and trying to make sure all my pieces were protected -- I have about a thousand years worth of work still to do on THAT). Game 4 - no tears shed. I disregarded my own intuition regarding my physical limitations to play, and I paid the price for it. Lesson learned. Over, and over, and over again... Hmmm. Well, I'm nothing if not persistent...
More tomorrow, or possily later this evening, because at last the pounding in my head and the pains in my temples and between my eyes is starting to decrease. Unfortunately, the only pain reliever that I can take while on Warfarin (Coumadin) -- blood thinner -- is Tylenol, and the only Tylenol I had in the house tonight was two sample capsules received in the mail, in April 1991. Holy Hathor! Talk about frugal, geez!

| Main entrance of tournament site: Holiday In Express Airport, Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Welcome, all Ye, who come willingly into the Maw of the Chess Goddess. Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha... [imagine suitable sound effects here, munching and spitting out of bones, for instance]. |

| A view to the southeast from main entrance. The original forecast today had been to wake up to intermittent showers and possible thunderstorms in the afternoon. The showers were nowhere in evidence when I awoke a 6 a.m. Got ready and had a cab to the hotel, arrived about 9:15 or 9:20 a.m. Checked in with Tom and Robin and then ran outside with my camera to take these photos, intent on doing an entire day of blog-worthy photos. The Goddess had other plans for me today, though. The weather I travelled through was warm, slightly muggy, and beautiful. There was some thunder and rain -- was that during Round 3? Maybe, because that is the round I scored my draw in. A sign from Caissa? |

The Ulrich Sisters ROCK!!!
There are many great reasons to live in Milwaukee, and one of my favorite reasons is my adopted chess club, Southwest Chess Club!
Mr. Don, Isis and I, my primary cohorts in things chessly, tentatively started looking around to provide some prize money to events in our respective home towns back in 2008. After researching local area chess clubs I discovered the Southwest Chess Club and it's twice-a-year Hales Corners Chess Challenges. The rest, as the saying goes, is herstory, darlings!
Our first sponsorship was for Challenge VIII, in October, 2008. Forgive the formatting of this post. When Blogger really blew it by changing their format to be decidedly hostile to anyone NOT using their Chrome thing, etc. etc. (I am not a big Google fan), every single paragraph return, indentation, etc. etc. was wiped out of every single one of my thousands of posts that had been made up to that point in time. Talk about being onepissed off extremely angry woman. In fact, I'm getting steamed again just typing about it, ggggrrrrrrr.
But this isn't about me, it's about the wonderful partnership that has developed between the great folks at the Southwest Chess Club and me as representative for Goddesschess. I love those people and - those people had better love me, that's all I have to say on the subject...
Joke! From our initial offering of $100 in prize money in Challenge VIII, we have experimented with various prize formats and amounts in subsequent Challenges, and have settled more or less on this: In the Open, all wins by female players earn $40, draws earn $20; in the Reserve section, the prizes for the chess femmes are $20 for each win, $10 for each draw.
Our goal has been to try and encourage more women to come out and play. I can't say it's been exactly successful, but the chess femmes who do play usually come back and play in another and then another... Last October (2011), Challenge XIV was held and, mad woman that I am, I decided to play in my second ever tournament (I had played in Challenge XII along with my chess buddie Shira Evans Sanford). LOL! I won't bore you with the gory details of my chess slaughter, but the really fun part was meeting Ellen Wanek and Pat Foat, who along with me are youthful in our hearts, minds and souls but on the outside, well, let's just say we're heading gracefully into middle age and leave it at that... There was a fair contingent of younger chess femmes, too.
Rachel Ulrich has played in several Hales Corners Challenges, and in Challenge XIV she played in the Open section and won $100 in Goddesschess cash plus paid entry to Challenge XV if she plays! YIPPEE! The Ulrich family made Challenge XIV a family affair. Susan Ulrich played in the Reserve section but for Challenge XIV we had decided to try and lure more ladies to play in the Open section and thus we did not fund prizes for the chess femmes in the Reserve.
Well, it didn't work to lure more chess femmes who I think really could play in the Open to actually play in the Open. Sigh. Susan scored 3.0/4 (3 wins) and would have won $60 in Goddesschess cash if we had maintained our "old" prize structure. So if she comes to Challenge XV I will expect her to win at least $60 because we've reinstituted cash prizes for ladies in the Reserve in Challenge XV!!! And if she does play in the Reserve I sure hope I don't have to play her! Nah, that won't happen. I'm so low down on the totem pole ELO wise, I expect to be defeated by 2 year olds sucking on pacifiers...
Anne Ulrich - I believe she is now a college student and had pretty much given up playing competitive chess to concentrate on her studies (but don't quote me on that) was also present at Challenge XIV and was a "house" player. I had no idea what that meant, but it was explained to me. Ahhhhh, little grasshopper, enlightenment...
I had met both Rachel and Susan Ulrich previously and at Challenge XIV I met Anne. They are all delightful chess femmes and very pretty too -- wonder if Dad is beating off the young men with a very big Knight???
Fast forward to today! I received an email from Janet Ulrich, mother of the three chessplaying sisters and it had just wonderful news:
I am so happy now just writing about this, my little old heart is going pitter-patter tra la, tra la and I'm doing a happy dance in my chair.
I hope to see ALL of the Ulrich family at Hales Corners Challenge XV. Geez, I've got to print out a form and register...
Mr. Don, Isis and I, my primary cohorts in things chessly, tentatively started looking around to provide some prize money to events in our respective home towns back in 2008. After researching local area chess clubs I discovered the Southwest Chess Club and it's twice-a-year Hales Corners Chess Challenges. The rest, as the saying goes, is herstory, darlings!
Our first sponsorship was for Challenge VIII, in October, 2008. Forgive the formatting of this post. When Blogger really blew it by changing their format to be decidedly hostile to anyone NOT using their Chrome thing, etc. etc. (I am not a big Google fan), every single paragraph return, indentation, etc. etc. was wiped out of every single one of my thousands of posts that had been made up to that point in time. Talk about being one
But this isn't about me, it's about the wonderful partnership that has developed between the great folks at the Southwest Chess Club and me as representative for Goddesschess. I love those people and - those people had better love me, that's all I have to say on the subject...
Joke! From our initial offering of $100 in prize money in Challenge VIII, we have experimented with various prize formats and amounts in subsequent Challenges, and have settled more or less on this: In the Open, all wins by female players earn $40, draws earn $20; in the Reserve section, the prizes for the chess femmes are $20 for each win, $10 for each draw.
Our goal has been to try and encourage more women to come out and play. I can't say it's been exactly successful, but the chess femmes who do play usually come back and play in another and then another... Last October (2011), Challenge XIV was held and, mad woman that I am, I decided to play in my second ever tournament (I had played in Challenge XII along with my chess buddie Shira Evans Sanford). LOL! I won't bore you with the gory details of my chess slaughter, but the really fun part was meeting Ellen Wanek and Pat Foat, who along with me are youthful in our hearts, minds and souls but on the outside, well, let's just say we're heading gracefully into middle age and leave it at that...

Hello Jan!
Anne enjoyed going to Hales Corners last year and being a house player. So after she finished all of last year’s geography activities she decided to study chess. As this website shows she is at the top of the 2012 JGP list in the country. (I don’t know if she will be able to hold this spot but it is fun being there if just for awhile!) Anyway, I thought you might enjoy seeing this:
My girls are looking forward to seeing you at Hales Corners...

2010 Susan Polgar Girls' Invitational - Results In - Rachel Ulrich Yeah!
A several-time participant in the Hales Corners Challenge events hosted by my adopted chess club, Southwest Chess Club, Ms. Rachel Ulrich, did very well in the 2010 Susan Polgar Girls' Invitational held at Texas Tech in Lubbock, Texas the past six days. Way cool! Rachel has been a winner of a Goddesschess prize in some of the Hales Corners Chess Challenges and Goddesschess is looking forward to her appearance at Challenge XII!
Congratulations to Rachel, and to all of the chess femmes who took part in this wonderful event, which included many hours of intensive chess training, fun activities, and chess events. If I understand this correctly, here are the standings for overall events from Susan Polgar's chess blog:

Ms. Susie Ulrich is Rachel's sister. They have both played in past Hales Corners Challenges. Unfortnately, I am not able to tell you if Wisconsin had a representative at this year's Polgar Girls Invitational or, if we did, who she is.
