This section will feature the strongest players and intense competition. Open to all in K-12 grades. The K-6 Open is designed for chess players who may have only played online in the past two years and would like to experience a swiss style tournament in over-the-board play. Open to all in K-6 grades. The Introductory Quads are designed for players new to tournament chess, or just new to over-the-board chess. Players are grouped together with three other players of similar ability (as determined by the tournament director). Open to all in the grades preK-12. | ||
