Dear Chess Enthusiasts,
 
It is still possible to register for the early entry fee for our next Championship tournament of the season until midnight tonight.

After that it will be $45 until Saturday at 12PM when it becomes $55.

The PS 158 tournament is on the Upper East Side  on East 78th Street and York Avenue on December 4th.
  
Just to remind you of our 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.
 
The Under 1800 section continues to be 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 December 4th! 
  
Hope to see you there...
