The Office of Student Life is happy to host its 4th annual open chess tournament, in collaboration with the local chess federation and various local clubs. The event is open to experienced chess players (rated above 1500 ELO), and people both in and outside of the Franklin community are invited to attend.
Franklin students, faculty, and staff members can participate free of charge, though all players should register by Saturday February 7 emailing adelucia@fus.edu! People who are not Franklin students, faculty, and staff members must pay a registration fee of CHF 25 at the door to participate.
Tournament Details:
All participants will compete over 5 rounds/games of max 30 minutes each (15 minutes for each player). The pairings will be adjusted according to the results of completed matches in order to ensure participants play opponents of an equal level as the tournament progresses.
