This is a "No Vacation" tournament!
Holiday Chess tournament for beginners, rating under 1200(up to 1199)*. No vacation tournament.
First place will win 1 year of diamond membership (or $100 gift card to thechessstore.com)
Each round, there will be a random drawing for monthly chess.com memberships.
*If it is clear you are better than a daily rating of 1200, you will be removed from tournament to keep it fair to true beginners. This is usually obvious, ie when it is a new account/no prior daily games played who ascend the rating ladder above 1200 very quickly.

I’ve received many messages about players that are not beginners.
Turns out I do not have much control over removing these players once games have started.
Since this has been such an issue, I will cancel the prize $ to those that are deemed more advanced players. I would encourage those players who clearly are not beginners to withdraw from the tournament on their own.
