Dear Chess Enthusiasts,
It is still possible to register for the early entry fee price of $39 until midnight tonight for our April 17th tournament at The Jewish Center. After that it will be $45 and finally it will be $55 the day of the event onsite.
The Center is conveniently located on the Upper west Side of Manhattan, as it is easy to reach by car and subway as well as by walking for many of our folks who live uptown.
Just to remind you of our lengthened time controls for the higher sections:
While Novice and Elementary sections remain G/30, the 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.
This year the Under 1800 section is open to Adults as well as scholastic players! Therefore, anyone rated Under 1800 can play.
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 April 17th!
Hope to see you there.
