Announcing our first event - a test run this Saturday!

We are planning our first event for this Saturday, the 20th of May.

We will plan for 3:00 PM Pacific time.  That is 10:00 UTC.  Time zone converter: https://www.timeanddate.com/worldclock/fixedtime.html?msg=Untitled+Tuesday+Test-run&iso=20170520T22&p1=%3A 

We will post one further news post as a reminder on Friday.

This tournament will be available in the live chess server's list of tournaments up to an hour beforehand.  Note that you have to be in the new version of the site; you can switch back after the event if you prefer the old version.

We will follow the same format as we will follow for our future events: the time control is three minutes plus two seconds of increment, and it will be a seven-round event (we will increase the number of rounds for future events if we get enough people playing).

Note: games will be monitored for fair play violations.

Please tell your friends!  It would be great if we could have 30-40 or more people playing!
