Borders Chess Quads

Borders Chess Club invites the public to compete in our monthly chess tournaments. We're glad to help those who are unfamiliar with tournament play. Please bring a chess set or chess clock if possible. Everyone is also welcome to stop by for casual chess at our regular 2-6 pm Saturday meetings.

Where: Borders Books Music & Café 1751 Walnut Street, Cary, NC

When: The 2nd Saturday of every month (check club web site to confirm).
On-site registration at 1:15-2:00pm. Rounds at 2:30, 3:40, 4:50pm (over by 6:00pm).

What: Quads -- 4 person sections by similar club rating. Play the other 3 in your quad.
During each round either:
play once at G/30 (game may last 1 hour),
or if both players agree, play twice at G/15.
United States Chess Federation rules apply (Touch-Move, etc).

Who: Anyone familiar with basic chess rules is eligible. We can assist those who are unfamiliar with chess clocks. No memberships or chess ratings are required. Those without a Borders Chess Club rating will be assigned an estimated rating based on past chess experience (club ratings are updated based on tournament results).

How Much: $5 entry fee (cash only) on-site or in advance.
$15 prize to 1st place in each quad.

Space is limited to a maximum of 32 players, so show up early (or register in advance at an earlier Saturday meeting) to reserve your place. On-site registration from 1:15-2:00pm. Please bring a chess set and chess clock if possible (we have few to lend). Newcomers please see the links below.
