The Menlo Park Chess Club will hold our first rated quads over three weeks from April 27th – May 11th, 2022, with a make-up round to be held May 18th, if needed. The time control will be the same as that used for our earlier Swiss tournament, the dual Quick- and Regular-rated G/30 d/5, while quads will be based on a factor of rating/skill level and age. Chess sets, boards and clocks will be provided but please feel free to bring your own digital timer if you wish. Entry fee will again be $0 and prizes for first place in each quad will be $20 gift certificates for Kepler’s Books in Menlo Park (https://www.keplers.com/) with ties being decided by a blitz chess playoff. More information can be found in our TLA here.
