Rated Beginner Open

About

A short rated tournament for newer players: three rounds of 25-minute games with a 5-second delay, open only to unrated players and those rated under 1200, with no byes. It starts at 9am on Sundays at the Marshall Chess Club, 23 West 10th Street in Greenwich Village, near the F/M at 14 St and the A/C/E/B/D/F/M at W 4 St–Washington Sq. Entry is $25 for members, and non-members pay $25 more. The club lists it on November 8, 15, 22 and 29 and December 13, 20 and 27, skipping December 6, the weekend of its club championship; it's the only rated tournament for beginners on our New York City calendar.
