                Any chance to lower the bar to 800 for registration?

                  Sorry, not for this tournament unless the player becomes the Aurora Chess Club member. During the summer the club will meet at the same library on Mondays for two games a night with a 45-min time control.



                  Several players signed up yesterday at the club.

                      Tip for parents - the library offers a free Wi-Fi. Even the membership of the library is not required to connect to it. Though, I suggest to visit the Farmers Market in the nearby park. Operates from the early morning till 1 pm.

                      As the library has an extensive collection of chess books, it will be out-of-bounds for players during their games. Maybe I'll check out opening books myself LOL

                        After a yesterday count - 30 players registered. http://www.aucc.club/aurora-chess-da...ss-day-players

                        19 competitive
                        11 - non-competitive

                        btw, half-point byes are also possible, except for the last round. I'm arranging a floater just in case.
