  • 3rd-4th
  • 5th-6th
  • 7th-8th
  • 9th-10th
  • 11th-12th

The Winter Knights is an open tournament for all students in good standing in their school (home school, public school or private school) chess clubs. Students in the Rated section will play four rounds with a longer game time of 60 minutes with a five-second delay.

NON-RATED SECTION

Winter Knights also offers two Non-Rated sections for students who are new to competitive chess:  K-3 and K-6.  You do not need a USCF membership to play in the Non-Rated section.  Students in the Non-Rated section will play five rounds with a game time of 30 minutes with a five-second delay.  Non-rated sections may be merged at the discretion of the tournament director.
