TUESDAY NIGHT ACTION

*** Please note new format changes effective for TNA beginning February 28, 2023 ***

 

WEEKLY RATED PLAY

The CCC conducts a weekly US Chess rated game every Tuesday night. This is a great way for players to get weekly practice without committing a whole weekend to play a tournament. The Top Section also FIDE-rated - offering the only free weekly FIDE-rated game in the country! In addition, there is a free lecture before the games begin. 

HOW IT WORKS

  • CCC opens Tuesdays at 5:45pm

  • Lecture with FM Peter Giannatos prior to rated games from 6:00pm-6:45pm

  • Players must register weekly and in advance using the online registration system

  • Each Tuesday evening will be limited to the first 62 players to register

  • TNA registration will close at 6:30pm if not already full

  • Once spots are filled, players may email events@charlottechesscenter.org to be placed on the waitlist.

REQUIREMENTS

  • Players must be members of the CCC

  • Players must have a US Chess membership

  • Open to all players in grades 9-12 and adults
