Other things to know: My monthly online chess tournaments will always be the third Saturday of every month at 10am PST.  The platform for the chess tournament is chess.com.  Cheating is never tolerated in my tournaments. No camera set up needed.   I plan to analyze at least one chess game from each player on my Twitch channel: https://www.twitch.tv/laurengoodkindchess

Only players with a chess.com account in good standing are qualified to play in the tournament. At any point a player has an account that's been closed, they loose the right to play in the tournament. No exceptions.

Have more questions about the tournament? Attend my LIVE Q&A Zoom meeting on Wednesday, October 18th at 5pm PST. I'll be happy to answer your questions.
