Dear Chess Enthusiasts,
It is still possible to enter our next Championship tournament and get the early entry fee of $39 until midnight tonight. After that the entry fee will be $45 up until Saturday evening. The morning of the event the entry fee is $55 as always.
The PS 158 after school program has a curricular Kindergarten program as well as a Lunchtime chess program.
PS 158 is an extremely spacious site and a relaxed atmosphere.
Just to remind you of our lengthened time controls for the higher sections:
While Novice and Elementary sections
remain
G/30, th
e Reserve U 800 Section is G/40.
Advanced U 1000 and Championship U1400 sections are both G/45.
And the U 1800 section is only 3 rounds but G/60. All sections 5 minutes less when using 5 second time delay.
Our Beginner section (K-1) is 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 May 17th!
Hope to see you there.
