The Halloween Havoc Chess Tournament held on October 29 at SLU marked the one year anniversary for the Saint Louis Chess Club’s monthly scholastic tournament series. As George Bernard Shaw once said, “Progress is impossible without change.” In that spirit, a Chess Grand Prix element was added to the monthly scholastic tournaments to encourage more participation and to make the school year more exciting.
The Saint Louis Chess Club hosts a series of four matches November 9-14. Today features eight rounds of Carlsen-Ding at G/10. For the first time in recent history, each match features no delay or increment. Join GMs Yasser Seirawan, Alejandro Ramirez, Maurice Ashley, Cristian Chirila, and WGM Jen Shahade for the move-by-move.
