| Miscellaneous |
We suggest that you bring your own
chess sets and/or clocks for casual play if you have them – a limited quantity of sets and clocks will be available
on-site for those that may not have their own. However, the sets that are provided will be for
use in official tournament games only. If you want to play casual games between the rounds,
you should have your own sets. We expect that we will have a few other activities organized.
Such events may include parents blitz tournaments, simultaneous exhibitions and more. |
