I have enlisted the assistance of a young person to help me with transitioning the tournament into a new website and a recoding of the event itself. He is now the new administrator of the club. As we rework the project, I hope all of you will have...

I gave it my best shot at attempting to introduce a unique idea for a team event that allowed novices to join with intermediate and advanced players in a 4 player team event. Sadly, after two years and $4,000 USD I ran out of funds to continue thi...

Today's event saw 276 members qualify with 7 games average rating. The way chess.com sends me data is based on monthly bites, with the first day of the month including only those matches played on that day. So, if you did not play seven matches on...

Heres how: Notice the zero prize on the 13th? That is because the player had not played a new game in more than three consecutive days. The team was not penalized, but their prize was removed. The player has continued to play at least one rapid m...

So we should not ever have ties. Look at todays total team scores. the difference between 1st and 2nd and then 3rd, 4th and 5th place is a matter of a tenth of a decimal. 1st  10.4285712nd 10.1428583rd 8.8571444th 8.5714295th 8.285715 Were you ...
I will be examining all members scores to ensure fairness to the other members. Please make sure you are playing rapid matches as often as you can. Do not post a high score, and then stop playing hoping to be placed with other high scorers. That i...
