The Hamilton Chess Club is running a number of rapid play (NZCF rated) chess events at the Hamilton Chess Centre from 10am to 4.30pm (Sundays or Saturdays). The chess will be fast and furious – rapid time controls of 20 minutes and 5 seconds a move each for all your thinking time.

Cash Prizes will be given for at least overall 1st and 2nd, U1800, U1400 and ‘U1200 and under 12′, best unrated player, and encouragement award.  The more entrants there are, then more prize categories will be determined. The prize money will be 80% of entry fees after expenses.

The last event was 13 March 2011. The next event is on Saturday 13 Aug. Please register for that here.

These events are NZCF rapid rated – players must be NZCF registered or pay the NZCF registration fee ($20) before round 1. There will be 6 rounds of 20+5 chess.

Entry fees:
$20 for adults
$15 for juniors and Hamilton Chess Club members
$0 for GM, WGM, IM and WIMs

AND $20 for NZCF registrtation for 2011, if you are not already registered.

Be there from 10am. The first round starts at 10.30am – and there will be a 35 minute lunch break after round 2.
