Announcing: B&M Candidates!
Sort:
preferably weekends and VERY VERY late due to bad hotspot so like 11pm eastern?

True, but nobody said that only those living in the US can play

Sorry 😅. I was typing fast; I meant “than.” I’ll edit that.

*me who drinks coke every morning and sugar crashes from lots of chess and school*
Yeah that would be good for me
We have tried in the past to hold a Beginners & Masters Candidates Tournament, similar to that by FIDE, but it sort of fell apart towards the end. Well now that our club is even larger and more active ( cough cough) than before, we will be holding a second Candidates Tournament. Nine people will qualify, the #1 player will receive a first-round bye, and the overall winner will be crowned the B&M “World” Champion and all the glory, acclaim, yada yada yada, that comes with this prestigious title. The first qualifying Rapid, Swiss tournament will be held this month. Let me know what times work best for y’all and we’ll get this scheduled.
