Manhattan Day School
Chess Championship X
March 13, 2016

 
 
Dear Chess Enthusiasts,
 
Just reminding you that our next chess championship tournament is coming up in 2 weeks!  It is conveniently located on the Upper West Side at Manhattan Day School.

The date of this event is the same weekend as the NYS Championships in Saratoga, NY.  We know that many of you will not be going to Saratoga and we are offering you a local alternative.
  
The higher sections continue to have longer time controls (see below), while the Beginner, Novice and Elementary remain G/30 (or G/25; d/5) for the younger players.
 
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 March 13th! 
  
Hope to see you there.
