July Jubilee 2021 (Online)
The Saint Louis Chess Club is continuing our summer scholastic tournament series! In order to compete, students must register here, and sign up for a free account on Lichess.org prior to the tournament. July Jubilee 2021 will have three sections.
The three sections are as follows:
The K12 OPEN is for experienced tournament players with established USCF ratings;
The Rook Arena is for tournament players with less experience;
The Pawn Arena is for players new to tournament chess.
The K12 OPEN will be a standard Swiss-style tournament, with 6 rounds. The Rook and Pawn Arenas will be play-as-much-as-you-can style tournaments within the allotted time periods.
Each section of the tournament requires a password for entry.
Once registered, Scholastics will send you directions and a password to complete your entry on Lichess.org.
