SUMMARY:Burgess Park Double-Blitz G/3+2
DESCRIPTION:Based on conversations at the club last week and on a few online interactions over the past couple days it seems that another Blitz tournament is what people most wish to partake of this week\, so we’ll hold another free\, unrated double-blitz tournament of four rounds and a G/3+2 time control. A double-blitz event entails playing two games with each opponent\, one as black and one as white. The tournament will begin promptly at 7pm so please register and check in before that time\, if at all possible. Prizes will be yet more gift certificates to Kepler’s or Feldman’s Books.

SUMMARY:Fischer Random (Chess960) Tournament
DESCRIPTION:The Menlo Park Chess Club will hold its first Fischer Random (Chess 960) tournament Wednesday\, September 14th\, beginning at 7pm sharp. The event will be unrated and will occur over one evening with a time control of G/8 d/2\, there will be three or four rounds depending upon the number of entries\, entry is free and prizes will be gift certificates to Feldman’s Books in Menlo Park. \nThe starting positions used for the event will be announced before the beginning of each round in an attempt to rein in those who might overprepare. Everyone is encouraged to play in this tournament\, even if you’ve never played a game of Chess960 before. As long as you can play ‘regular’ chess with a clock and understand the castling eccentricities involved with this variant you’ll be fine\, though some may suggest playing a game or two on one of the online chess services to get a feel for Chess960. \nPlease register ahead of time using the button on this page so we have some idea how many people to expect — you may cancel your registration at any time.

SUMMARY:MPCC Surfeit of Blitz Marathon: 3+0
DESCRIPTION:The Menlo Park Chess Club seeks to answer a simple question: How much blitz chess is too much? Over four consecutive Wednesday evenings in July we will hold four separate unrated blitz tournaments of ever-shortening time controls (5+3\, 5+0\, 3+2\, 3+0)\, each with free entry and modest cash prizes. Where this event differs from most\, however\, is that players may optionally contribute $5 to an overall prize fund\, to be awarded based on one’s performance through all four individual blitz tournaments (the marathon). \nEvery dollar contributed to the overall prize fund will be returned in marathon prizes. Additionally\, any ties for cash prizes in the individual tournaments will see that money placed in the overall/marathon prize fund\, to bolster existing and add new place prizes. For example\, if two people score a perfect 4-0 to tie for first in the 3+0 event and one person takes sole third with 3.5-0.5\, $40 will be added to the overall prize fund (the 1st-2nd tie\, $25 + $15) while the person in 3rd place would take home $10 (see Prizes\, below). If three or more people tie for first place then the entire $50 (1st-3rd prizes) will be added to the overall/marathon prize fund. The same applies to the under-17 prizes. \nNote that each individual tournament is a standalone event and you may play in 1\, 2\, 3 or 4 of these tourneys as you please\, with no obligation to chip in $5 unless you wish to take part in the marathon. Details follow: \n\nFormat: Four separate Swiss-system tournaments in one section over four consecutive Wednesday evenings\nDates: July 6th\, 13th\, 20th and 27th — games begin at 7:00pm\nControl: July 6th\, 5+3; July 13th\, 5+0; July 20th\, 3+2; July 27th\, 3+0\nRounds (#): July 6th\, 4; July 13th\, 4; July 20th\, 5; July 27th\, 5\nEntry Fee: $0 (MPCC will sponsor the prizes)\nPrizes: Each event will offer 1st\, $25; 2nd\, $15; 3rd\, $10; Under-17 1st\, $15\, 2nd\, $10\nTies: If there is a tie for any cash prize the associated funds will be rolled into the overall purse mentioned above (yes\, this is unusual but we think it may prove interesting and\, given the entry fee is $0\, there should be little complaint)\nByes: Zero-point byes available any round\nRegister: Click the Register button\, above\nBoards\, sets and clocks will be provided by the Menlo Park Chess Club (bring a clock if you own one)\nU.S. Chess Rules for Blitz Chess will be followed for all play in this event\nFor more information please send email to info@menloparkchess.club or tweet @MenloParkChess\nJoin our Facebook group to stay abreast of future club tournaments and events

DESCRIPTION:Our regular weekly club meeting occurs Wednesday evenings from 6:00-9:45pm in the Cypress Room of the Arrillaga Family Recreation Center. Casual\, blitz and bughouse chess are in the offing and a few members will be making up tournament games from our previous quads event. Next week we will hold a free\, informal\, unrated Swiss system blitz tournament with the G/5 d/2 time control of 4-5 rounds\, something which was very popular the last time we did this.
