We will continue to hold weekly Thursday night events online at chess.com.
This week we will try "slow blitz" (time control is 8 minutes plus 2-second INCREMENT). This means that you get 2 seconds added on to your clock every time you make a move.
It is a 6-round tournament, starting promptly at 7:00 pm. Be on time and click the link below to join the event. It should run until around 9:30 pm. (You can always "leave" the event if you need to; if you show up late, you can still join, getting a bye for any missed round)
Here is a direct link to the tournament: https://www.chess.com/live#t=1183878
(the event is not USCF-rated; it is chess.com-rated)
