LC Christmas Chess Classic FAQ
I don't know how to play chess. Should I come?
Sure! Before tournament day, you can have a friend show you how to play, or you can learn the rules of chess online here or here. Or if you wish, we can teach you chess at the tournament! If you choose this last option, say so on your entry, and we'll teach you during the first round. You would then play in the tournament for the remaining four rounds. Only three things you need to know to play: 1.The starting position. 2.How the six different pieces move. 3.How the game ends. (Get the King!)I'm not a good chessplayer. Should I play?
Sure! Come play with the rest of us patzers. We're all learning, and you don't have to be a Grandmaster to have fun at chess. Besides, the Swiss pairings system will match you with opponents of equal ability (after a few rounds). And just think of how much better you'll be after a day of chess playing.I've never played in a tournament. I'm nervous! What do I do?
Have fun and enjoy the competition! You might have your parents read Considerations Before Competing, an article by a Whatcom County mom published in Neighborhood-Kids.com. Then you'll know a bit more about what to expect. (Also helpful is Tournaments - How They Work.)When do we eat lunch?
Whenever you can! There's no scheduled lunch break between rounds, so if you have a game that ends early, that might be a good time to eat.How many games will I play?
All players will play five rounds, win or lose. With Swiss pairings, there's no elimination, and you'll always play someone with the same score as yourself (with a few exceptions). So for example, if in the first three rounds you have one win and two losses, you'll play someone else with one win and two losses in the 4th round.
I can't play in all five rounds. Can I still play?
It's possible, although our flexible "A.S.A.P." schedule makes it tricky. If you'll be arriving late, check the schedule (above) and indicate on your entry which rounds you will be missing. Then be sure to check in with a tourney director when you do arrive.If I haven't taken my hands off of the chess piece yet, can I change my mind?
In a rated tournament like this one, if you even touch a chess piece, you must move it! And if you touch an opponent's piece, you must capture it! So sit on your hands until you know what you want to do. If a piece needs to be centered or adjusted, you may do so by first saying "I adjust".Do I have to write down the moves?
Scorekeeping is required for the 6th-8th grade section, and recommended (but not required) for the other sections. To learn how, have a teacher or friend show you, or go here. Hey, it's good for you! One of the best ways to improve is to review your games after a tournament. (Besides being able to show your friends the awesome move you made that clinched the game.) Also, learning chess notation opens you to the whole wide world of chess literature.Will we use chess clocks? How do they work?
We'll use clocks in the 6th-8th grade section on all boards. Eventually we might use clocks on the top boards in the 4th-5th grade section. And if a game looks like it may go long, we may place a clock on your game after about 40 minutes. Chess clocks are a great invention. They keep slow players from slowing and losing players from stalling. Here's how it works: After your move, you hit the button nearest you on the chess clock. Your timer stops, and your opponent's timer begins. In this tournament each middle school player will get 30 minutes, thus ensuring that no game goes over an hour. If a player uses up all of their clock time, it's a loss just like checkmate. So bring a chess clock if you have one, but if you don't, that's okay.How do school team awards work?
The team scoring used will be similar to cross-country meet scoring. That is, the best four or five results from a single school will be tallied and compared with other schools. Efforts will be made not to pair players from the same school. We'll use the eligibility rules used at Elementary State.Can I turn in the entry form and fee to my teacher?
Sorry, all advance entries must be mailed in, postmarked on or before Wednesday, December 3.
Is this tourney an Elementary State Qualifier tournament? Tell me about State.
The largest chess tournament in the state every year is not the Washington Open, the Seafair Open or the State High School Team Championships, it's the State Elementary Championships. Last year 1,422 players pre-registered to compete in Redmond. And consider this: to attend, players had to first qualify by posting a winning record in a qualifying tournament!To qualify for Elementary State, a Washington student in grades 1-6 must post a winning record (score over 50 percent) in a NWSRS-rated Scholastic Chess Tournament in Washington State with at least 4 rounds, at least 6 players in their section, and at least 3 different school codes represented. Players in Kindergarten need to score 2/5 in a divison which includes K-2 players. A list of qualifying players for the current school year can be found at the WHSCA website.
