Rochester Chess will be hosting a 4-round USCF-rated tournament: Jovana’s June 2019 Slow Chess Tournament (G/60 + 30 second increment) in honor of Rochester Chess Master in Residence, Jovana Milosevic. If you have attended any of Jovana’s instructional chess classes or watched her play chess you know she is excellent at both! We are very happy she lives in Rochester!
Play one game per night on June 4, 11, 18, and 25. Up to 2 half-point byes may be requested in rounds 1-3. A zero-point bye is available for round 4. The plan is to divide the field in two sections based on rating.
Registration: Free for club members who register online by June 3 (strongly recommended to help us start on time) or $5 for all who register onsite (6:15 – 6:30 PM) and for nonmembers.
