Winter Open

Wanting to encourage a bit of boldness in the chess players in the region, Cherry Perumalla and Christopher Romeril greatly helped me put the following tournament together.

Time Control: G30/d10 – 5 rounds

Prizes: $2500 total over 2 Sections – Open and Under 1000.  Numerous Under Prizes.

Open – $650 – $400 – $250; Under 1800 – $100; Under 1600 – $75; Under 1400 – $50; Under 1200 – $50

Under 1000 – $300, $200, $100, Under 800 – $75, Under 600 – $50

EF $50; $70 1/31 or after; Under 1000 EF $30; $40 1/31 or after

Registration ends at 9:45 – 10, 11:30, 1:30, 3:00, 4:30.  The extra half hour after the 11:30 round should allow people to get lunch from wherever they like.

Though the Autumn Open had low attendance, due to tight timeline and limited advertising, we liked the set up and hope to have even more great players this time.
