Join our monthly youth chess tournament in our Clubhouse Chessaka.
Over-the-board (OTB) play is a very important to improve chess skills and having fun with chess in general. The CYC is open to all youth players who know the rules of chess. Focus is on social chess with a flavour of competition as a friendly atmosphere is a key feature of the CYC.
Whether you're a complete beginner or an experienced player, every youth player between 6 and 18 years who knows the rules of chess and is interested in playing chess with other children is welcome to join.
You will be placed in a group of players with similar strength and/or same age category. Players will be assigned to a group for the whole cycle and play for prizes in their assigned group. On the tournament day each player can face players from another group (from a higher group if the player is doing well, from a lower group if doing not so well).
The tournament is played over 5 rounds with each round 15 minutes per person, which is called rapid play. It is not a knock-out system so every plater will play 5 games.
