upcoming West Orange Chess Club events run by Doran Race

Update:

Dear West Orange Chess Players, There seems to be a strong majority opposed to dual rated events. If a tournament will affect your slow rating you want more than 60 minutes. I have modified my 1 night tournaments so they won’t affect your slow rating. The new time control is 5 minutes per game with 24 seconds added (increment) each move. This means score keeping is not required and we can probably get an extra round completed before midnight. Hence some sections of the 8 pm start will have 5 players. We will use this new time control starting JAN 2nd. Doran Race
