Charlotte Chess Center Tuesday Night Action

Charlotte Chess Center
weekly on Tuesday, starting from Tuesday, March 11, 2014, forever

Event Overview

The CCC conducts a weekly US Chess rated game every Tuesday night. This is a great way for players to get weekly practice without committing a whole weekend to play a tournament. The Top Section also FIDE-rated - offering the only free weekly FIDE-rated game in the country! In addition, there is a free lecture before the games begin. 

HOW IT WORKS

  • CCC opens Tuesdays at 5:45pm

  • Lecture with FM Peter Giannatos prior to rated games from 6:00pm-6:45pm

  • Players must register weekly and in advance using the online registration system

  • Each Tuesday evening will be limited to the first 62 players to register
