Dear Chess Enthusiasts,

It is still possible to register for the early entry fee for our next chess championship event which is coming on April 26th to PS 9 on the Upper West Side.  

Up until midnight tonight the entry fee will remain $39.  After midnight, it will be $45 all week long and finally it will be $55 on Saturday night and the morning of the event.
 
The school has chess in the curriculum for the lower grades and we therefore expect those sections to be larger as usual.


 

As a reminder, the time controls for the top 4 sections are longer than the basic scholastic time controls of G/30.


 

The Reserve U 800 section is G/40
Advanced U 1000 and Championship U1400 sections are now both G/45.  And the U 1800 section is only 3 rounds but G/60. 

The 2 basic sections which include Novice and Elementary remain G/30.

Our Beginner section (K-1) remains unrated by the US Chess Federation.  Any players participating in the Beginner section do not have to pay USCF dues and do not need to be a USCF member. Clocks will not be used in this section and it is not necessary to notate either. 
 
All other sections will remain USCF rated as always. 
  
We have over 100 giant awards to give away, so come join us for a good time on April 26th! 
  
Hope to see you there.
