Summer Knights Is Back and Online for 2020!

It's the first chess tournament of the school year!
Although we are offering both a Rated section (for those with a
USCF rating) and a Non-Rated section for beginning players, we will NOT issue a
tournament report to the USCF. So, this is an opportunity for everyone to
relax, not worry about ratings, but play in their first chess tournament early
in the school year.

We are excited to get the chess season started with the first tournament of the year--Summer Knights which will be played on ChessKid on Saturday September 26th. Two sections will start at different times: Non-Rated will start at 10 a.m. (Game 15 minutes per side) and Rated will start at 1 p.m. (Game 20 minutes per side). All sections play 4 rounds except Rated K-12 Open which will play 5 rounds. We added two sections for Rated Under 500: K-12 and K-5. And we changed the Non-Rated sections to better align with our school grade configurations.
Trophies and Medals will be delivered to the winners after tournament results have been verified and any fair play challenges are investigated. Chess.com (the parent company of ChessKid) has detection systems in place to help detect online cheating. We need parents and coaches to help talk to our kids about the importance of fair play.
