Contend for The Belt starting April 13/14/2023 You want to be the best. You want to prove your skills at chess and demonstrate you have what it takes to be the champ. You want to test your mettle against the fierce competition of our chess club. You want a garish accessory to lord over your fellow competitors that will also help hold up your pants.* Beginning in April, the Club will host a series of tournaments to award The Belt. The member who wins and then defends The Belt for three consecutive tournaments will be invited to collect a Chessable course of their choice!† The Belt At the conclusion of each rapid tournament, the player with the most tournament points will win The Belt. That player will retain The Belt until the next sanctioned tournament, at which time they will have to defend their ownership of The Belt. The player who successfully wins The Belt and then defends their ownership of The Belt for an additional three consecutive tournaments will win the 2023 Rapid Belt and a prize from the Club Commissioner.‡ If you fail to retain The Belt, your progress is reset to zero. If you choose not to participate in a tournament to defend The Belt, you will forfeit The Belt to the winner of that tournament. Here is a picture of The Belt. Gaze upon The Belt. Format
The tournaments will be arena tournaments on Lichess lasting 90 minutes each. Players are free to join the arenas at their leisure. The tournaments will use a Rapid time control: 10 minutes + 2 second increment. The first event is scheduled for Saturday, April 1, 2023 at 6:00PM Pacific / 9:00PM Eastern / 01:00 UTC. Fine Print * Metaphorically. † There is a $15.00 limit for each individual prize. Winners may also choose to redeem an alternative chess product like a book or chess training course that is not available on Chessable. Winners may speak with the Club Commissioner regarding their desired prize. The $15 limit still applies to alternative chess products. Prizes must be claimed by 90 days after winning The Belt for the fourth consecutive tournament. ‡ The prize will be given to an individual Club member. The Club Commissioner is not eligible to win any prizes.
