If and when we can resume chess, we have drastically thought about how we can run a few fun weeks of chess before the Christmas break. The plan is to have some un-rated events, of varying time controls, so we can get an ‘all rounder’ experience.
The schedule will be as follows (draft, assuming we can get 5 weeks of chess in):
- Round 1 – Medium length games
- Round 2 – Long games (evening 1)
- Round 3 – Long games (evening 2)
- Round 4 – Short length games
- Round 5 – Blitz games
With the unrated status, the event will be FREE to financial members. Non-members will be charged the $15 tournament fee.
More details once we are closer to realising some face to face chess!
There was also well, can’t remember the name, but a large pack of cards allowed us to cast spells and curses etc. on our own or opponent’s pieces. And teams of two played hand/mind chess (the mind just chooses a piece type, the hand makes a move with that piece); works best if you can read minds.
