Final Reminder: Today's Chess Tournament at 6pm EST
I'll be on 10 minutes before to help set up.
Students and Parents,
I wanted to remind everybody that this month’s tournament is on Wednesday, 11/16 at 6 pm Eastern time (5 pm Central, 4 pm Mountain, 3 pm Pacific time).
This is the Zoom link (and the password is Smile, with a capital S).
The rating range is 400-1800 (aka all of you!)
The tournament is free.
I expect 20-35 to play.
The tournament will go for 60 minutes, until 6pm.
I will be online 10 minutes before (5:50 EST) to help with technical difficulties (If you need more help, you may watch the 1-minute video below).
Log into your lichess.org account and go to Zoom link
Join the MM Team on the left
Sign up using the JOIN button in the top right (like the one below)
On the day of the tournament, have the link open. Your games will start automatically, shortly after some announcements.
👓 TO WATCH (FOR BEGINNERS): For the kids that aren't ready to play )the beginners), there will be a concurrent group lesson. We'll be trying to find the best moves for all the other kids playing. For example, when Ali makes a good move, we'll ask: “how does one win a piece here?” “How do you checkmate in 2 moves?"
