Be careful to enter the correct section. Advanced players can play in a higher grade section if they choose. Refresh your screen right before 10am, so Chess.com knows you're there. Note: Swiss pairings means no elimination -- each round, you'll play someone with the same (similar) score as yourself. Most sections should have five rounds, but Chess.com might limit a smaller section to four rounds.
Virtual Tournament Hall: If you'd like, send a selfie of you "at the board" to chessentry@frontier.com and I'll gather them into a photo album sometime this weekend.
Have fun, enjoy the journey, and see you online!
