This Thursday (Dec. 17) at 7:01 pm sharp we will hold an online event at
chess.com.
Time control is Game in 15 minutes, with 5-second increment after each move. The 3 rounds should go from 7:00 pm until about 9:00 pm (Central time).

tournament starts promptly at 7:01 pm, so you need to click "join" by
6:59 pm. To join, simply click on this link: https://www.chess.com/live#t=1924019 and once there, click "join". The tournament automatically pairs itself; your games will pop up automatically. Each round starts when all games from the prior game are done
