Chess Events in La Selva Beach, CA

Join us for a fun day of chess! Here's what this legendary event will entail:

Tournament Format

1. USCF membership required (it's ok if you're unrated)
2. Quads - meaning players will be grouped into sections of 4 (i.e. quads) & will play each of the 3 similarly rated players in his/her quad.
3. G/30 d5 - For each game, each player will have 30 min to make all his/her moves, with a 5-sec delay before each move. This is a dually rated time control, so it'll count towards both USCF Regular & Quick ratings.
