Most adult chess clubs cater to the more accomplished player. This club in the Columbus, Ohio area will offer a place for the less accomplished player to learn and enjoy the game of chess without the intimidation of more highly skilled players.
Rated U1200 tournaments will be offered about every two months.
The USCF is now allowing all chess affiliates the ability to run USCF rated online tournaments!
Next tournament: U1200 USCF Quick-Rated 4-round Swiss tournament on lichess next Sunday, 5/31 2pm EST. Games will be played at G/20;+3.
Players must have a USCF membership, a USCF rating below 1200 AND a lichess Rapid rating <= 1500.
The USCF keeps separate online ratings for such events and keeps them separate from the traditional OTB (over the board) ratings.
If interested, please sign up via this google form: https://forms.gle/DcUg6tHwXnpzQrHf7
When you sign up, I will verify your USCF membership, lichess Rapid rating and send you an invite to a lichess “team” that serves as the staging area for our tournament.
