Blitz Tournament --> 5+0 each side, max 10 min per game. A win is one point to the winner, a draw is half a point to each player, a loss is 0 points to the loser.


There are 7 rounds in total. The top 3 players will be given prizes. Playing an illegal move forfeits the game unless otherwise granted a take-back by your opponent. However, please note that they are not obligated to give you one. The same hand that hits the clock also moves the pieces. No two handed play unless adjusting pieces. When castling, touch the king first. Touch move / clock move is agreed upon by you and your opponent. In the event of an illegal move, king capturing is permitted (do not be surprised if someone takes your king)



Prizes :


1st place -100$

2nd place -50$

3rd place -25$
