Thursday, October 8, we will hold another online multi-week Swiss-system tournament with a time control of G/60+5 (initial time of 60 minutes plus a 5 second increment for each move).
This will be a three-round tournament (1 game each Thursday 7:00 pm, for 3 Thursdays in a row: October 8, 15, and 22, in 1 section.
Remember, chess.com doesn't have the
ability to automatically-pair a multi-week event, so I will step in as
the Tournament Director, pairing each round (just like the old days at
the club!).
