Hi Chess Lovers,

This time, I am the Tournament Director. My address is jamesrslagle@xxxxxxxxx
You are invited to play in the World
Chess Parlor Tournament.
The tournament is Swiss style. The time control is thirty moves per
hour. Since a chess clock is usually available, the 2.5 minute rule is being
dropped.
This time, to enter,
you must promise to get at least 2 Good Citizen points by the end of Round 3.
Usually this means that you will be the
third-person timekeeper for at least one game by the
end of Round 3.
If you have not received at least 2 GC
points, you will be removed from the Tournament.
If you do not have a chess clock, you
can write to our chess list, and ask for someone to show you how
to use a software chess clock.
Probably, someone will help you.
This will mean that probably many of your games will have a third party
timekeeper.
You arrange to play
your games at a time and
date convenient
to
you.
We can work
around
your
schedule, even if you
are going to be
unavailable during the tournament
for a
week or so.

lass a
couple of
hours.

with the Round 1 pairings.

tournament, simply e-mail chess@xxxxxxxxxxxxx by Friday at 23:00 UTC or

this tournament.

our World Chess Parlor Club
Meeting on
the first Saturday in March. everything is free! We can tell you
