| Miscellaneous |
We suggest that you bring your own chess sets and/or
clocks 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. |

Just announced: Sunday will boast a
"Live Chess Game" complete with players in Medieval costume and fighting for
squares they are attempting to capture! Lots of fun to watch between your games
at the OYCC!
We also are planning much more for the families and players
that attend ... (more to come)
Please come back often to see what we have added to this site as we get more information!
Also thanks go to the
KW
Chess Club, member of SWOCL, for their
support in running this event.
