Slow Chess League August Signups
Signups are now open for our 3 round August League Qualifier and Tournament Series to begin on Monday, August 8.
New players can sign up for our 3 round League Qualifier. You must be a member of the Dan Heisman Learning Center to be included. You don’t have to win a game to qualify. Just follow the rules and complete the tournament.
Qualified league players can choose from:

Swiss 1-2 G/25+10 Double B2B – 2 games played back-to-back each week, just one time to negotiate
Adding the 1-2 pairing option to swiss-style pairing yields closer rated pairings without sections.
Double sections feature a game each with White and Black against the same opponent for a round. Always get fair colors.
Check out our G/25+10 B2B section. 2 games to play each week, but just one time to negotiate. Rapid play lets you get a game with both white and black each week. That's fair play.
