Thursday, September 3rd, we will hold another online multi-week Swiss-system tournament with a time control of G/60 +5  (initial time of 60 minutes plus a 5 second increment for each move).  

This will be a three-round tournament (1 game each Thursday 7:00 pm, for 3 Thursdays in a row: September 3, 10, and 17, in 1 section.  (If we get enough entries we might have 2 sections).

Remember, chess.com doesn't have the ability to automatically-pair a multi-week event, so I will step in as the Tournament Director, pairing each round (just like the old days at the club!).
Please indicate your interest in playing to THIS FORUM post, remembering to provide your First Name, Last Name, EMAIL, chess.com username, and US Chess rating (we use USCF ratings for pairing purposes).
and “Post” a note/comment indicating you will play.  You must do this prior to 6:00 PM CDT Sepgtember 3 (which is when I will do the pairings for Round 1)
 
If you don’t sign up before the pairings are completed you can always start in round two.  There is no entry fee and this will not be USCF rated (it will affect your rating on chess.com).
One-half point Byes are available in any round. If you would like a Bye, please notify us before the published cutoff date & time. (6:00 PM Thursdays).  I will pair each night's round at 6:00 Thursday.

I would like to withdraw from the tourney, if possible.  Looks a little too tough for me.

allenbecker

Hi Jonathan, thanks for your note.  Hope to see you in our events again.  On September 24th we'll probably have a "Rapid" or maybe Blitz event.

allenbecker

Here are the pairings.  Remember, White challenges Black.  If anyone needs help with the challenge let me know.  It's of course OK for Black to challenge White, as long as the colors are correct.  G/60+5.

If anyone late-enters, I'll try to accommodate, but the pairings below will NOT change:

Board    White                                    Black

1. ___ Coons, James Jay (0.0,1708) ___ Becker, Allen J (0.0,2044)

2. ___ Menon,Gauri (0.0,1960) ___ Grochowski, Robin (0.0,1698)

3. ___ Rivedal,Andrew (0.0,1634) ___ Bhattacharyya,Rishav (0.0,1888)

4. ___ Bhattacharyya,Shaunak (0.0,1883) ___ Hogg,Neil (0.0,1572)

Is it too late for me to join the tournament today? If so, could I register and request a bye for this week?

Aditya Pillai / aditya1awesome@gmail.com / USCF:1927

allenbecker

Aditya, if someone else enters then the two of you can play Round 1.  If no one else shows up, I will give you a 1/2-BYE and pair your for next week's Round 2.

Ok, thanks.
