  • New tournaments

    How long will it be before chess tournaments are being played over the board again? I'd like to play, and online just isn't the same.

    Until there is a vaccine widely distributed plus a few months. That is to say, at least a year, more likely two.

      Since no one knows when a vaccine may be widely available, let's just say Vday + a several months for general distribution and availability ....

      I don't think the local club will re-open until the schools are properly back in,
      and here in Ontario that looks like September 2020 at the absolute earliest but more likely January 2021 from where I sit...
      ( I think there is a major announcement tomorrow here in Ontario about the fate of the school year. My guess is as above. )

          Here we're suggested to keep 2 m (~6 ft) distance. Though, the play could be adjusted that only one player sits at the board, while other takes a stroll around. Would make blitz impossible (probably) but a slow rate game should be feasible.

            But most players also analyze when it's the other player's turn.

              How about everyone has his own board, and write it the move somewhere to let the opponent know
