Students will play five rounds and will be divided among three sections based on skill level. Players will start with 30 minutes and have a five-second delay. Touch-move will be observed and players will notate their games.
“We are excited about hosting this rated tournament and hope to see a great turnout” said Matthew Forte, Logan Elm Chess Club Advisor. “This will be a friendly atmosphere for players who haven’t yet played in a tournament and I anticipate steep competition in the Open section.”

The Logan Elm Chess Club has grown substantially this school year with students meeting after school to play and attending several tournaments. A key ingredient in helping them prepare to compete was a grant from the Logan Elm Education Foundation that provided funding for quality chess timers.
