Alaska Arctic Chess Club

The AACC and the Fairbanks Community Chess Club teamed up for a fun filled, relaxed, unrated event, and it was a blast!

Congratulations to Brett Z. for first place, Sam B. for second, and Aiden L. for taking third!

There was fun, chess, prizes, and snacks! What a great time - thanks to Josh Rathbun for hosting such a great event!

The Alaska Arctic Chess Club held a small, four round swiss on June 6th, and while we had a lot of cancellations, we also had a lot of fun!

Yesterday was the 20250802 AACC Swiss, which happened to also be an ACF Grand Prix event! While a smaller event, with only 10 players, we sure had fun! We had one player from Oregon, four players from Anchorage, and 5 players from the Fairbanks/North Pole area, which is quite an accomplishment!

Here are the final standings from the event:

Congratulations to Mr. Taylor on a 'clean sweep', winning four of four rounds!

We hope to see them, and you, at future events!
