          This weekend it's going to be as hot as Georgia, are players allowed to wear shorts?

            The shorts need to look as nice as Kovaliov's :). That was a joke, but we are ok with shorts.

                A couple of enhancements to announce for this year:

                - The tournament will be broadcasted via chess24.com and our open section players will be able to showcase their games in the well-known network:
                https://chess24.com/en/watch/live-to...ber-2017/1/1/1

                - We have introduced self-check-in option for the tournament. Self-check-in will eliminate the need for queuing in the line on the tournament day. You do not have to see anyone as you will be automatically paired for the first round. You arrive and play.

                Chess-to-Remember, 2017 is still open for registration. We would like to encourage everyone to register online and save $10 on registration fee.
                Also, this would speedup the check-in process as upon successful online payment you will be able to self-check-in electronically.

                PLEASE NOTE WE WILL ONLY ACCEPT CASH PAYMENTS ON SITE.
                Please follow the link below to register or get some more information:

                We hope to see you soon and please do not forget to invite your friends to join!
