Details
Chess in the Circle is for any student in grade 1 through 12 to take part. This tournament is not nationally rated, and students do not need to have any tournament experience in order to participate. We do require students who play to be familiar with all of the rules of chess, including castling, stalemate, and the touch-move rule. Students who are not familiar with the rules are welcome to spectate, as are other family members and friends. The first round of the tournament starts at 9:00 a.m. and the last of the games will finish around 11:55 a.m.
We will organize the tournament based on the Swiss pairing system, which means that players who win in the first round will be matched against other winners for their next games, and players who lose will be matched against others with similar results. Nobody is eliminated early.
Registration in advance through Eventbrite is required so we have enough room:
