Welcome to a new year of CFC rated tournaments at Canada’s friendliest chess club.
The tournament formats are varied to accommodate people who cannot commit
to coming out four or five weeks in a row.
“Slow” chess games will be played at a time control of SD 90min for the first game only
and SD 105min for all remaining games in the tournament.
Start time (clocks started) for all SD 105min games is 7:15 P.M.
There is a $3.00 CFC rating fee per tournament for each player and players must be CFC members.
As always, casual players and non-CFC members are welcome anytime. They should arrange their own games.
On nights between tournaments we sometimes organize an impromptu non-rated speed tournament.
All may join in these.
