Dear my beloved 90m+30s Club members, It's been 4 years (since April 2022) that our classical 90m+30s chess club is founded. You can find the history of our club, all activity of past, current, and future events here at https://www.chess.com/blog/fhunfi/reasons-to-join-90m-30s-chess-com-online-chess-club We have currently 3 Classical Swiss tourneys with 3 different time control: (1) 90m+30s time control (1 Round/ game every 2 weeks) for total duration 3 months (6 Round) / as our main tourney (2) 45m+45s time control (1 Round/ game every 2 weeks) for total duration 3 months (6 Round) / Added to fulfill the request from most of you. (3) 60m+30s time control (1 Round/ game every 1 month) for total tourney duration 1 year (12 round) / a new recent companion tourney. I have run and will keep running those 3 tourneys simultaneously (in parallel), without any single pause / delay between the end of 1 season / cycle and start of new season / cycle. I decide the timeframe between rounds as 2 weeks and (1 month for the new companion Swiss 60m+30s) for few reasons: * A serious classical game can take (if both players used all time on their clock) Total 3 - 4 hours (for 90m+30s) Total 2 - 3 hours (for 60m+30s) Total 1.5 - 2.5 hours (for 45m+45s) * Even if you are joining all my 3 tourneys, you can be assured that you will have at least 1 game per week (but not more than 2 games per week). As I myself also the tournament participants and occasionally play 1 OTB (Over the board) game during weekend - I feel it and motivate me to create as humanly condition as possible tournaments in between our busy life (family, work). * Some are (can be) joining all of 3, or 2 of them or joining 1 of them only. All depend on their need and availability. Organizing online chess tournaments takes time, passion, and dedication. Behind every smooth event is someone working hard to make it happen. I volunteer to create fair, competitive, and fun chess experiences for players around the world. Your support helps me continue doing what I love — for the love of the game. * If some of you are willing to support my voluntarily work, you can help me with 3 ways: (it is welcomed but not required - it will be very helpful but it's not an obligation) (A) To write / add some brief review on tournament page review https://www.chess.com/forum/view/clubs-and-teams/if-1-of-your-new-years-resolution-is-to-play-more-serious-games-at-slow-time-controls (it's been 6 pages of all positive reviews). It will help to let more people know our classical chess club and bring more participants for even more competitive tourneys ahead (B) Helping me while helping yourself / we help each other by trying my unique (no other ones had it before) successful training program "Daily Lesson by email" You can try for a full one month, and there is no obligation to continue to 2nd month if you don't like it or find it not helpful at the end of a month, so you have nothing to lose (zero risk) to try. Link for detail explanation & all of review of "Daily Lesson by email" is at:https://www.chess.com/forum/view/chess-lessons/interactive-q-a-daily-course-by-email if you are interested, all you need to do is message me 1 of your email address, then I will start email you the 1st test as example and continue with 2nd test once 1st test is done etc. I will try my best to help you with this program. I give all my passion and energy in creating the Tests (problems) and in communicating back & forth by email from day to day. (C) Any small donations are welcomed but not an obligation Paypal support to https://paypal.me/LucieChien ko-fi to https://ko-fi.com/fhunfi Thanks again ... so much ... for your all support, commitment, and loyalty to the Club. I will return the favor by giving my best (care/ passion/ commitment/ responsibility) in organizing the tournaments as smooth as possible. Sincerely from your friend and partner in pursuing whatever goal / dream in your classical chess passion Chien aka @fhunfi

Hello all. This is place where you can share your favorite games from our Swiss league, with or without your own annotation. If requested, I can annotate your posted games. ThanksChien These 2 games are my annotated past games of my good friend and student @greekindian @padre @fulmarsky  

Hello, To improve competitiveness among our players, I’ve decided to cap the eligibility for our regular Swiss 9030, 4545, and 6030 tournaments at a 2000 rating. If we exceed 64 participants, I may eventually divide the "Under 2000" group into two sections: Under 1400 and 1400–2000. Meanwhile, I am organizing a separate tournament for players rated above 2000. It will be Single Round Robin Tournament. unless total participant is more than 13 players then it will use Swiss system. If you are rated 2000+ and interested, please post your Chess.com ID here.  Thank you! Best WishesChien Ming
