Remembering Ken Ballou
I first met Ken in 2005, when he volunteered to direct chess tournaments for the Massachusetts Chess Association (MACA). This was a win-win: Ken was a very capable director and directed many tournaments for MACA, never charging a directing fee, and he got directing credits which helped him eventually become a National Tournament Director (not just from directing MACA tournaments, of course).
Ken was elected MACA President in 2010, but unfortunately this was the beginning of the end of his involvement with MACA. It was a tumultuous year, and Ken ended up resigning, along with half of the MACA board. Ken went on to direct higher level national and international tournaments, but he still helped MACA by providing us with a combined USCF-FIDE-MACA database each month. I continued to see Ken at the US Chess Federation Delegates Meetings each year.
In 2016 Ken was the chief tournament director of the Millionaire Chess 3 tournament in Atlantic City, New Jersey, and at his recommendation I was hired to be the chief director of two of the sections - a fond memory. Ken was a respected colleague and a friend, and I'll miss him.

Candidate Statements are posted
Candidates in the 2021 MACA Election:
The following candidates are on the ballot in the 2021 MACA Election. Registered voters will receive ballots at the beginning of May.
President: Andrew Hoy, Robert E. King
VP: Steven Winer
Treasurer: Bob Messenger
Clerk: Jeffrey Caruso
Director: Paul Arond, GM Fidel Corrales Jiménez, Steve Frymer, Robert E. King, Robin King-Franklin, Oleg Poliannikov, Nicholas Sterling, Prof. Latanya Sweeney, Yi Wang, Prathiba Yuvarajan
The following have submitted statements in support of their candidacy:
Robert E. King, candidate for President and for Director
Chess, the most popular board game, is now even more popular than it has ever been. Chess playing online has increased, greatly. I have been playing online for years on the chess sites. On Chess.com I am fourth among USA players for total medals with 332, and fourth in gold medals with 96. On Chess.com there has been a 66% increase in activity since the pandemic, prior to the Netflix miniseries The Queen's Gambit. The miniseries made the top ten in 92 countries and ranked #1 in 63 countries. Due to the pandemic and the miniseries, there has been a significant increase USCF sales, USCF memberships, and chess products. The new USCF members will be looking for chess tournaments to play in. MACA needs to be ready for this increase of players in MACA tournaments because the time is coming. MACA and the new chess players deserve the best leadership for a successful future, and my past history of MACA service as MACA President and Director make me uniquely qualified to lead us for the success of chess!
Jeffrey Caruso, candidate for Clerk
This has been a challenging year. The MACA board has worked to preserve what we have, and to be ready to move ahead to greater success when things start to open up post-COVID-19. We worked hard to organize an online Spiegel Cup final last year and our first-ever virtual Annual Meeting. We have extended the MACA memberships of everyone who was a member a year ago. And we are preparing to have an in-person Massachusetts Open in the fall. I support our current board members who are running again, and am also excited by the candidacy of GM Fidel Corrales Jiménez, who would add another important dimension to our board.
I pledge to bring the same values of transparency, service, and fairness to the office of Clerk as you have seen in my work since 2015 as Elections Commission chairman. Please give me your vote so I can continue to work for you!
Steve Frymer, candidate for Director (incumbent)
50+ years on maca board;
served as prez, vice prez, treasurer and sect'y on multiple occasions;
served as membership sect'y, on budget and tournament committees, and
on elections commision on multiple occasions; and currently as prison chess
coordinator [30+ years] and living memorial chess fund coordinator [5+ years].
