Dear Chess Enthusiasts,

Our next Championship tournament is on the Upper East Side at PS 158 on East 78th Street and York Ave.

In addition to the after school program at 158, we also have a curricular Kindergarten program as well as a Lunchtime chess program.

PS 158 is an extremely spacious site with an outdoor playground which can only be accessed from inside the school.


 

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.
