Calendar - 2006
The Kenilworth Chess Club meets every
Thursday night starting by 8:00 p.m. in the Recreation
Building at 575 Kenilworth Boulevard. We welcome all
chessplayers to attend even if they are not going to
participate in the evening's main event. We usually
have a skittles and discussion room available when
more serious chess is being played in the main hall.
Highlights of the year include the Club Championship
tournament running through March and the Holiday
Party in late December. See the 2005
Calendar for details
about last year. Other events may be added to open
dates, including team matches or rated events (TBA).

January 5th -
Open Week. Collect 2006 Dues and Entry Fee for Club Championship.
January 12 - Club
Championship, Week 1. We will have a new site dedicated
to the championship by early February to show all of
the games. The 2005
Club Championship website will give
you an idea of how this will look.
This year it will be broken into two sections, an Open section with players
vying for the championship and an Under-1800 section with players vying for
the Under-1800 title. The format will otherwise be the
same as last year's event: a time control of Game-90, with 5-second-delay
upon request. Trophies for Club Champion, second place, and third place, Under-1800,
and Under-1500. The event will be Unrated. Entry Fee: $25, plus a $10 deposit
toward excessive byes. Club membership ($15) required. Bye Policy: Two free
byes, including excused absences for Holy Thursday and Passover (should this
year's tournament run that long). After the two free byes, players are charged
$5 for each additional bye up to four. More than four byes results in forfeit.
Tournament Director: Geoff McAuliffe (TD) Sections: Open Section (for Club Championship)
and Under-1800 (for under-1800 title).
