The West Orange Chess Club is hosting Spring Hexads. It's like quads, but groups of six. It's a five-game round-robin event held on five Tuesday evenings: May 16, 23, 30, and June 6 and 13. One game is played per week.
All games are G75 d5 and begin promptly at 7pm. This is a USCF-rated event; a USCF membership is required to play.
Players will be divided into groups of six according to rating. Larger groups may be necessary on occasion; prize money will be adjusted accordingly. Larger groups will be played Swiss-style.
Prizes: $60 (1st place), $30 (2nd place) per hexad based on six players.
The to participate is $25 ($20 for dues-paying club members). Dues for 2023 are $10 (just $5 for West Orange residents, anyone under 18, and anyone over 55). Players may opt to pay dues for 2023 thereby saving $5 off their entry fee.
