Kelsey Liu wins Massachusetts Girls Championship
Massachusetts Girls Championship took place on April 27-28 in Boylston Chess Club. Top Massachusetts girls competed for the title of Massachusetts Girls Champion and a qualification to represent Massachusetts in National Girls Tournament of Champions in Orlando this summer.
Kelsey Liu (4.5) had a dominating performance, won the first 4 rounds, and secured the title with one round to go. She drew Joy Cao in the last round. Amy Lei (3.5) lost only to Kelsey in the fourth round, and ended up with the second place with 3 wins and a draw. Tianna Wang (3.0) had a rough start with two losses, but bounced back with three consecutive wins, and earned the third place. The youngest player Riya Kanuri put up a great fight every round, drew her second and fourth rounds.
All players and parents gave very positive feedback on this tournament, and thanked MACA for organizing this tournament.

2019 MACA Election - Candidate Statements
Oleg Poliannikov, candidate for President:
MACA is a great institution that remains the leading force promoting and organizing chess in Massachusetts. It also serves a lot of chess players from CT, NH, and RI. With such an impact, we must improve the way MACA does business for the benefit of hundreds of players: present and future.
Among the problems that need to be urgently addressed are: the calendar, the website, the future of the Prison Program after Chess Horizons is no longer published, coordination with clubs and independent organizers, and increasing the number of tournaments (run by MACA or independents) for all players from novices to the 2000+ rated scholastic elite.
My immediate goal is to have tournaments scheduled and announced at least 6 months in advance. I will work with existing and potential TDs to have more people certified and available to direct in order to simplify scheduling and running chess tournaments. I will work with Prison Chess to design a new program that fulfills MACA's firm commitment to charity. MACA will have a new website and a much improved online presence.
I ask for your support, feedback, criticism, and participation. Time is of the essence.
Steven Winer, candidate for Vice-President (current MACA board member)
I am looking to help grow Massachusetts chess even further. There has already been much success for players in the state, but there is still more we can do to reach even greater success.
Dmitry Barash, candidate for Director (incumbent):
I’m running for the board for the 6th consecutive time. I worked in Scholastic Committee all these years and help to schedule and run tournaments for kids.
In the last 5 years overall tournament attendance (including scholastic) went up.
The main MA Championship Spiegel Cup becomes stronger by rating each year.
Many kids successfully represent MA in National events.
Though we have room for improvement by running more tournaments for unrated kids, and for elite players too. We can also automate adding preregistered list of players online.
You can find scholastic related data on my pages:
Jeffrey Caruso, candidate for Director (incumbent):
Service, fairness, transparency. As Elections Commissioner and MACA board member I have delivered these for you. Please vote for me again so that I can continue to serve you.
Our candidates include a strong field of volunteers. I support the current board members who are running again, as well as Oleg Poliannikov, who was an active board member from January 2017 to July 2018, and newcomers Stewart, Yuvarajan and Wang, who are all active promoters of chess in Massachusetts.
Steve Frymer, candidate for Director (incumbent):
50+ years as a MACA prez, vp, treasurer, clerk and director.
Currently Living Memorial Chess Fund coordinator, Prison Chess
coordinator, and Scholastic Committee member.
Robert E. King, candidate for Director
My history of MACA service, my past service as director and president make me uniquely qualified to be beneficial for MACA. I have had a great history of promoting my hobbies, and I know a lot more needs to be done in the future as I am continuing with my plans. I am working on a couple of books, including a chess book. I have been taking on the on-line chess world and those games are being compiled for the book. I have been teaching chess in Plymouth, and my friend Eric has played in two USCF rated adult tournaments.
Robb Stewart, candidate for Director
My interest in joining MACA's Board of Directors will serve three goals:
To leverage my overall experience and connections as a lifelong Massachusetts resident and chess player with 30+ years playing experience;
To bring insights to the Board from my roles as chess tutor and coach, school program director, and scholastic and club tournament director, and parent;
To share my qualifications as a business professional with strong communication skills, leadership qualities, financial acumen and superior organizational skills.
I ask all voting members their consideration of my skills and qualifications when evaluating the options.
Prathiba Yuvarajan, candidate for Director
As a coach, International Woman Master and mother I want to promote chess in all aspects for all age groups. I will do my best to promote chess in schools with curriculum classes, after school programs, tournaments and camps. As I mastered in Cognitive Science I understand how chess helps kids in learning and improving scores at schools and other activities. My main goal is to encourage all kids to learn the game and provide more opportunities at professional level. Currently I am the owner and coach of ChessEmpireKids (www.chessempirekids.com). I teach kids at various schools in MA and NH.
