A 4 round, swiss-style, 20 minute 5 second delay, RATED chess tournament. Free to enter, but players MUST HAVE A USCF MEMBERSHIP.
Rated chess is a great way to test your chess skills in a highly competitive, structured environment. Our Gauntlet Tournament on November 17th from 1:30 to 4:30 in the Riley Room at Central Library is a low barrier way to enjoy rated chess. The only thing players need is a USCF membership; the tournament is free to enter (with a USCF membership). Players will play 4 games in a swiss style tournament with a 20 minute time control with a 5 second delay (each move features a five second delay before the player's clock begins). Please register for guaranteed entry.
As the hub of the Indianapolis Public Library system, Central Library showcases renowned architecture and services. The original 1917 building, designed by Paul Cret and constructed of Indiana limestone in the Greek Doric style, was considered one of the most outstanding secular buildings in the U.S. Its six-story glass and steel-framed addition, designed by Evans Woollen, opened in 2007.
