Register for October Tuesday Night Series G75+15. Starts October 3 @ 6:00pm. This appeals to our more advanced players as we offer one round each Tuesday night of the month for a total of four rounds. Games on October 3, 10, 17, 24. I know some players will be scared when they hear this but there is no game October 31.

Register for next Beginner and Under 1250 tournament. Sunday October 1 @ 11:30am. Four rounds of G25+5. Pizza included. Perfect for new players! Players may arrive as early as 10:30am to practice or play “for fun” with other registrants.

Register for Two Fridays in October. Four-round tournament of G40+5 over two Fridays. Rounds 1&2 on October 6 and Rounds 3&4 on October 13. Rounds start @ 6:00pm.

Register for our first Girls and Women’s tournamen t. Saturday October 7 @ 1:00pm. Four rounds of G20+10. Includes lunch (pizza or catered sandwiches TBD)

Register for Blitz tournament on Sunday October 8 @ 1:00pm. Double Rounds of G3+2 so each player will play White and Black in each round. Number of rounds TBD.

Register for Rated 700+ on Saturday October 14 @ 1:00pm. Four rounds of G25+5. Players must have a minimum rating of 700 as of October USCF published rating. No unrated or new players but Provisional over 700 may play. All ratings over 700 are eligible. We had ten players in September.

Register for Scholastic Tournament for students in grades 2-8. Sunday October 15 @ 1:00pm. Check-in @ 12:45pm. Four rounds of G15+15. Players may arrive as early as noon to play some warm-up games with each other.

NOTE: for our Monthly Under-1250 tournaments, we have the option to run a separate section for 1250+ players. In the past, we’ve combined into one section when too few players over 1250 registered. To keep it appealing to new players, we will accept 1250+ players only if there are enough players to make a separate section. To be placed on the interest list for 1250+ players, please register for the date(s) and check the Over 1250 box. Do not pay until contacted by Marvin to confirm there will be a 1250+ section.

Registration for Bridgeopolis USCF-rated Tournaments. Any changes or unlikely cancellations will be posted here and sent via email. More tournaments may be posted shortly.

All tournaments require players to be current and paid members of USCF. NOTE: Some tournaments allow onsite registration for an additional fee if space is available. Entry after any tournament starts will be permitted only to make an even number of players and is at the sole discretion of the TD. Pre-paid entrants will always be admitted.

One of our players is selling hundreds of chess books from his extensive collection and has asked that I list it here. The URL is http://chessinventory.com or email ericchess@ymail.com
