This is our 2nd annual Cheers tournament. This year, we are having two variations. This is one of them – Chess960.

What’s with the title of (960) 360-2880?
960 → Fischer Random Chess, or when all Opening DB’s are disregarded
360 → Get to know fellow teammates in our group
2880 → The number of minutes on the clock

Thank you for participating  – and here’s wishing everyone the best! Cheers!!
