(okay, I read most of that one ... it helped considerably!)
Will be back at the club in the near future. I'll get my butt kicked after this much chess-brain atrophy! Looking forward to seeing you all! -- Richard Franklin
Every 2nd-Tuesday of the month, our club hosts a rated Game-29 round-robin chess tournament. You have to be a member of the USCF to participate. Each player will have 29 minutes to make their moves. You will play 3 rounds in a round-robin system, and there will be 4 players per section. Sections will be created according to your USCF quick rating (You will only play people near your current rating.) The entry fee is $5, and the winner of each section will win $15. Since this is G/29, only your quick rating will be affected.
Registration begins at 6:30. Please try to arrive by 6:45 to help our Tournament Director get the pairings done in a timely manner
If you have a functional CHESS CLOCK, please bring it to the club for the tournament! 🕦🕦
There are always other players available for non-tournament, casual play, so feel free to come to the club, even if you do not plan to play in the tournament. That includes beloved kibitzers, who will whisper very quietly to themselves to avoid interfering with the tournament
