Play & Support Team USA - FIDE Olympiad Warm Up Rapid

Come play a 5-round rapid tournament on Chess.com, this Saturday July 25 at 9am Pacific! The time control is G/15+5, with the goal to help team USA prep for the FIDE Online Olympiad starting next week!

We already have GM Wesley So, GM Jeffery Xiong, GM Sam Shankland, GM Ray Robson and WGM Anna Zatonskih confirming their participation. Team USA players will not play each other so to give more chances to players to get a strong game.

Free entry for GM/WGM and $50 for other players. PNWCC will cover the fees and prizes and all entry fees collected will be used to support team USA. If you donate $200 or more EXTRA, you get free entry to PNWCC Masters - Artist Point.

If we have more than 100 players, accelerated pairing will be used to keep the event competitive. Register now at US Chess Hub! For players that donate $50+, you will get complimentary entry to PNWCC Super GM Lectures (by GM Mamedyarov, GM Le, GM Xiong and GM Fedoseev) which is under planning on a date likely in September after Chess Olympiad. If you like to support a specific player, contact us by email PNWChessCenter@gmail.com.

Class prizes for players with legitimate USCF rating - $50 each for the best U2400, U2200, U2000, U1800, U1600 players.

All PNWCC Fair play rules apply (see flyer) - no restroom use allowed during the game.
