GeoChess : 2019.April : Japan

The April 2019 GeoChess is for players with ratings between 1375 and 1750. In this month's edition, there is a 50% advance rate with medium-sized groups (4(2)->2) and so you'll play six simultaneous games per round. Only players with more than 100 games, less than an average move time, and less than a 1% time-out rate may join. Please note that there is no vacation time. Since this has come up, I'll boot players with ratings above 1750 the day or so before the tournament starts to try to get clean numbers for the groups (chess.com automatically boots players with ratings that are too high before the tournament starts anyway).

This tournament will not start until April 15th, 2019.  The tournament does not auto-start if it fills before then (so that players can plan on a starting date). I may delay it one or two days following the 15th if it needs to fill.  There is a new GeoChess tournament dedicated to a different country each month.

がんばろう!

PS: The Rook Edition is a parallel tournament limited to players with ratings at 1400 or lower.  You can go to this month's rook edition (Japan) from this link.
