PAIRINGS FOR ROUND 1 OF THE JANUARY CLASSICAL CHESS TOURNAMENT, WHICH STARTS ON TUESDAY, JANUARY 2. HAPPY NEW YEAR!
The field was divided into sections according to chess playing experience. The Championship section is a round robin quad (3 rounds). The other sections are swisses (3 rounds). We are looking for a house player as there is an odd number of players in section Seven. USCF-rated games (G/60 + 30s increment) begin at 6:30 PM unless other arrangements have been made. Forfeit time is 7:00 PM. Half-point byes are available for any round in the swiss sections. Let me know if you have any questions.
