Free Rose City Chess T-Shirt for every participant!
The Fifth Annual Rose City Chess Halloween Tournament is one of the most fun scholastic tournaments in the Northwest.
Each participant receives a Check or Treat Prize after every Round. The prizes alone are worth the registration fee! Nothing takes the sting out of a loss (or adds to the joy of victory) like free chess prizes.
This year Rose City Chess is going overboard on SWAG by giving free Rose City Chess T-Shirts as the Round 5 Prize. T-Shirts (and other prizes) will be mailed after the tournament.
Students compete in sections based on playing strength. Rounds are Swiss Paired by Lichess so that games become more evenly matched as the event progresses.
No need for award pick-up this year! Rose City Chess will mail everything to you.
Registration closes Friday October 22, 2021 at 8:00pm. Register at Rose City Chess.
