The first virtual chess event hosted by the Manitoba Chess Association (MCA) last Sunday was a success. Fourteen players were able to play chess in a lichess tournament and connect via Zoom, which in effect allowed for a “skittles” room where players could analyze their games.
The MCA has decided to continue these tournaments every Sunday at 9:00 am. The tournament will be held at: https://lichess.org/team/a-winnipeg-chess-club
All players are asked to participate in a Zoom call during the tournaments and to contact Al MacPherson who will provide you with the Zoom coordinates. Al can be reached at macpherson2@outlook.com
Time control: 10 minutes with 10 second increment. Four rounds. Five minute delay between rounds to allow for game analysis.
No prize funds, no entry fees.
Membership in the CFC or MCA is not required; however participation will be limited to Manitoba players and those out of province known to the MCA.
Join in to see some familiar faces, enjoy the “live” experience, and have an opportunity to go over your games.
