The field of
participants in the 2011 Denker Tournament of High School Champions and the
Barber Tournament of K-8 Champions is nearly set. Both events will be held
in Orlando, from July 30 to August 2. Each separate tournament will bring
together the Champions of each state to compete for scholarship prize
money and in the case of the Denker, a college scholarship provided by the
University of Texas at Dallas.
The Denker
Tournament is in its 27th year and the Barber Tournament will inaugurate a
new opportunity for young people to play and represent their state in a
national invitational.
Below you will
find the current confirmed and nominated persons with a few open states. Any
resident of an open state who was in Grades 9-12 last year
(Denker) and Grades K-8 (Barber) are free to contact [email protected]
and ask to be considered. Go to denkerchess.com and/or barberchess.com for further details.
The US Open and US Junior Girls Open will also take place
in Orlando. Also keep denkerchess.com and barberchess.com bookmarked to stay posted.
