The November Tournament will start on Wednesday the 3rd. We will play a three round event with games on the 3rd, 10th and 17th in order to free up the week of Thanksgiving so there will be no club meeting on the 24th.

Time Control will be game\60. The following club policy regarding clock settings for G\60 is now in effect:
Players can play their game with either the 5 second delay or 15 second increment as long as both agree. However if one player insists on the 15 second increment and can provide and set a clock with the 15 second increment that will be the control used.  Players of a single game may not use two different settings within the same game (ie one side with 5 second delay and the other side with 15 second increment).

I will ask once more that if you are not going to attend please let me know as soon as possible so that I can try to re-pair your scheduled opponent or at least save them a trip to the club. Also note that this is a FIVE round tournament with the final round on September 29th.

I'm open to suggestions for October--Quads, Swiss, Quick Chess, Time Controls--please let me know via email or by adding a comment to this blog (see comments section at the bottom). I'm thinking about a 45/45 Quad. This would be 45 minutes with a 45 second increment. A typical 40-60 move game could take 2.5 to 3 hours. It would be regular rated only. Also the idea of starting each meeting with a brief lesson has been requested. I would try to start the lesson by 5:15 and finish between 5:30-5:40 once most of the tournament players had arrived (I'll gauge interest in this by attendance).
