PLAYERS ARE TO BRING: Their own boards and sets if they can. Players with chess clocks are asked to bring them if they can. In a Swiss System tournament, players are ranked by playing ability, or randomly, and paired against each other for round one. In round two, each winning player plays another winner, and those yet to win play another player who is also yet to win. In round 3 those with two wins play another player with two wins, and those with one win, play another player with one win, and those yet to win play another player, yet to win. No player ever plays the same opponent more than once. For additional information please contact Dr. James Greenwald at 217-544-4411
