S-L-O-W Swiss #17 - 90/30

DHLC S-L-0-W Swiss #17 - 90/30

Let's really slow down and think this through!!

This will be a 3-6 round tournament (depending on turnout) and will be played in one round per week scheduled according to the rules of the Slow Chess League using ET (New York - USA).

*** IMPORTANT *** The Time Control will be 90/30 instead of our usual 45/45.  This will allow plenty of deep thinking time.  90/30 is a popular time control for REALLY serious players who want the time to play their very best chess.  Be sure to allow about 4 hours per game!

Dan Heisman recommends practicing Slow Chess using the same increment that is used in your local OTD events.  Since FIDE uses a 30 second increment, this is great practice for those planning to play in FIDE rated events.

To sign up for this tournament you MUST be a veteran Slow Chess League Player, or have successfully completed a League Qualifier tournament. 

Begins Monday, August 25th

REMINDER -- YOU MUST BE QUALIFIED MEMBER OF THE DHLC IN ORDER TO PLAY.  PLEASE DO NOT TRY TO SIGN UP IF YOU HAVEN'T COMPLETED A DHLC QUALIFIER.
