| 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. |
