How do I find out if I’m registered? (How do I check-in?)
Check the website www.chesstrm.org/NYC/ and find the section “Excitement” or “See who is signed in..,” When you arrive at the tournament look for the check-in desk to let them know you are here ready to begin.
What time are the rounds?
Rounds begin at 11:00, 12:00, 1:30 and 2:30. Check-in closes at 10:45 so round 1 can begin on time.
Quads begin at 11:00, 12:30 and 2:00.
How do I find out who I am playing? (What board am I on for round ___?)
There will be a Pairing Sheet for each section (King, Queen, Rook, kNight). This will tell you the board number and the name of your opponent for the current round. Each round you will be assigned a new board number and opponent.
Quad sheets will be posted by the TD at the start of their sections.
Is the “Touch Piece” rule used here?
Yes, if you touch a piece you must move that piece. Exception: “I adjust.”
Do I have to write down my moves?
USCF rules require all players to write down all their moves until there are five minutes left on one of the clocks. If you can you should make an effort to write down your moves unless you are in 1st grade or below. If you don’t know how to record your moves you may simply put a check mark to indicate the move.
Do I have to use a clock? (What time should I set on the clock?)
Generally, yes! If a clock is available players should learn to compete using the rules with a clock. Clocks should be set to G/30;d5, meaning 30 minutes per player with a 5-second delay. In order to finish four games in the time allowed a clock may be placed on games without a clock when the time for the next round approaches. Scholastic players should get comfortable playing with a clock as soon as possible.
Quads should be set to G/45;d10.
What do I do if there is a problem during a game?
Players having a question or having difficulty should stop the clock and raise your hand to get a tournament director (TD). Resolve the problem before making your move.
How do I report the results of the game?
When the game is finished and both players agree on the result you raise your hands to let the TD record the result. When the TD arrives state the board number and “White won” or “Black won” or “Draw”. The TD should call each player by name to make sure everything is correct. Then reset the pieces and leave the tournament area until the next round begins.
What are tie-break points? What tie-break systems are used here?
Frequently players finish the tournament with the same number of points, e.g., 4.0 or 3.5 or 3, etc. Tie-break points looks to the results table and uses the scores of opponents to determine who had the “better” order of finish. Median, Solkoff and Cumulative are the tie-break systems used here.
What are accelerated pairings? When do we use accelerated pairings today?
Accelerated pairings may be used in larger tournaments when there is a limited number or rounds. This helps the best players to rise to the top more quickly.
What awards are there? (What time are awards?)
There are trophies for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd Place in each section. There are medals for those with 2.5 or more points who do not receive a trophy. The awards will take place as the section finishes, generally about 3:30.

Comments, Suggestions, etc., received so far:—
6/7. I noticed at the schedule for the summer has all Saturdays. Just wanted to check if you can alternate Saturdays and Sundays during the summer? We are not able to do Saturdays and I’m sure other families are in the same situation. -Sangeetha
6/11. Interested in the Quads 45/5 idea for the summer. I would also be interested in playing the adult section. -Tom
6/14 Kids are more than interested to attend the chess tournaments during summer. And can we start the round at 11 like how we have been doing, as it would be helpful for people like us who come from far. -Lavanya (Response: So far no one has indicated Saturday is good for them)
6/21 What sections will there be for Scholastic players? -George W Depends on who signs up in pre-registration. Last year some dates had less than six players sign up and a mandatory 12 sign-ups became required or the tournament would be canceled. (No one showed up at one location.) Hopefully players can make it on time to correct locations and correct recognition can be awarded to players as they progress at chess mastery. Six player minimum seems required for decent pairings in a section.
6/17 Other possibilities of sites for outdoor tournament:
Bryant Park ( i don’t remember how many chess tables they have though )
McDonald park , forest hills ( but i think they have very few tables )
chess and checkers house in Central Park
Zuccoti Park near World Trade Center ( supposedly has 25 chess tables )-R Sarkar; Zucotti Park for tournaments in the financial district….which I think is a great location! So I second that motion!- George W
Questions:-
Is the QUADS section only open to adults? Quads will be posted according to sign-ups, but will start with those who actually show up on time. If the Quad starts at 11:00 and Bobby Fischer decides to show up at 11:30 for this first round game, he will be posted in a new section (rather than allowing his clock to run and guess that he might show up). Any player currently uscf can play in the Quads to play 3 games at G/45;d10. The Scholastic section will be SwissSys for players up to grade 12.
Can kids choose to play in quads (instead of the swiss)? See answer in above section.
– Do you anticipate the Scholastic swiss section being broken into sections based on rating? I anticipate nothing. I work with other volunteers such as Sunny Y as a volunteer, while parents and kids help by arriving early to do the set up (and storage after the tournament) of equipment that provide some stability to the program. I would like to see the SwissSys have about 6 players per sections with a first place trophy for each section and medals for those with 2.5 or more points. As this new summer program develops (or flounders) based on your comments and the actual sign-ups, which are about 80% accurate, necessary modifications will be made for the enjoyment of the kids we serve
.
How do you pay for all this? Donations. We have no regular income. Our donations the past year are several $1 donations from players renewing memberships through The Right Move. Our foundation (501c3 tax deductible not-for-profit) has received one sponsor donation of $200 since January of 2020. Our TD in Albany has personally contributed more than $400 for rating fees and awards for on-line tournaments serving the Capital District in the Tri-State area Thanks to the generous time and precious help of volunteers professional chess is available for free for Scholastic players. Donations pay for medals, trophies, rating fees, insurance and equipment. Please help us raise money for this coming year as prizes are now being planned based on current income.
Donations can be sent to: The Right Move, 1214 Beverley Road, Brooklyn, NY 11218.
