UKAF Online Chess Grand Prix 2023/24
We will look to host one large tournament of different formats once per month (outwith August and December due to Summer and Christmas leave) and keep a points tally for the winner. Rules and dates below. Mike Fielding host the tournaments on the last Thursday of the month and each tournament is set to last for roughly 2 hours.
The tournaments will take place on LiChess and will be organsied over the UKAF Chess Discord Server (see below).
July 27th - 9 Round Bullet Swiss Tournament, 3+2 minutes
September 28th - 7 Round Blitz Swiss Tournament, 5+3 minutes
October 26th - 5 Round Rapid Swiss Tournament, 10+5 minutes
November 30th - 2 Hour Bullet Arena Tournament, 3+2 minutes
January 25th - 2 Hour Blitz Arena Tournament, 5+3 minutes
February 29th - 2 Hour Rapid Arena Tournament, 10+5 minutes
March 28th - 4 Round Chess 960 Swiss Tournament, 15+0 minutes
The tournament will be played over 7 rounds. We realise that not everyone will be able to play every week so we will take the top five results from each player over each of the rounds and that will be their final score.
1st place - 10 points
2nd place - 9 points
3rd place - 8 points
4th place - 7 points
5th place - 6 points
6th place - 5 points
7th place - 4 points
8th place - 3 points
9th place - 2 points
10th place - 1 points
I will keep a tally of the results and post them after each round.
