Sunday, September 30th Even if you dislike blitz chess, give this a try! We used to hold these often, and back in the day, John Bartholomew would show up. (He was just a chesspunk back then, but even so, he would give IM Victor Adler a battle!) This format doesn’t require you keep a scoresheet and does not affect your regular rating. But there is enough time for the occasional deep think, and you can ambush the kiddies who think it’s just like blitz, and they can just out-move you.
