Play Magnus Qualifier Details!
Sort:
the time control is 10 0. I do have a question about the chess kid's tournament though. I know someone (might be me! you never know) who is 13, and turns 14 in December, can they still play in the Chess Kid's qualifyer if they have an account for that?

ChessKid is a great idea! But like me, some of the kids will come in from chess.com and smash the tournament. So, would that be legal?
So this would be 4pm EST if I'm not mistaken

Hey everyone, and thanks for the questions. It looks like the only "unaddressed issue" is that of those unhappy with the time zone for the qualifiers.
We have now changed Saturday and Sunday's qualifiers to start at 9am Pacific, which is a full 4 hours earlier! Please plan to play those events!
