RockBox 3rd Media Chess Open

This is the 3rd Media Chess open - Sponsored by RockBox

Brought to you by Media Chess Club

We start at 9am October 1st 2021, you have 24 hours to make each move, so you will not be swamped at any point.  You will play in a Group of 4 or 5 people. 3 or 4 Games will start when the tournament starts, when you finish a game against an opponent the second and final game against that person will start. The winner of each group will progress to the final rounds, one or two more rounds depending on total numbers.

(Actual group sizes may vary depending on total players)

Winners are determined by Tie Break if match wins are drawn and the score is even in a group, you get points based on beating someone who has beaten someone else. This usually makes sure one person wins the group, but it's still possible to tie and more than one qualifies.

Prizes:

£100 1st Place

£50 2nd Place

£25 3rd Place

+ A £25 Amazon Voucher for the biggest upset (the game will show this based on rating difference at the start of the tournament).

Game style is Daily Mode on 1 days (allowing none demanding play at your own pace)

Standard is very mixed, I suggest practicing a few Daily Mode games if you have not played Chess in a while.

Good luck! Dave, chess nerd
