Most Chess4Less Saturdays, we offer four kids tournaments (and likely one tournament that is open to adults called Saturday Knight). The kids tournaments are: Swiss, Quads, Non-rated Quads, and Elite Swiss.

1. Swiss are in the morning: in the normal ("regular") swiss any kid play (as long as they are rated over 1400).
It starts at 10am and ends around 1-2pm. It follows the swiss tournament rules. The time control is G30, so each player gets 30 minutes. There is usually 4 rounds. For more info about this tournament click here:

2.The Elite swiss is a special tournament for more advanced kids, rating is usually higher than 800 only. This setting allows them for a longer game, G45, and so they can practice the longer concentration, thinking ahead more and more. We have started this based on parent feedback. It starts at 9am, and ends around 2-3pm. Click here for more info:

3. In the afternoon you can join us for Quads. In this type, kids are grouped according to their rating, usually in groups of 4. This is a round robin, meaning everyone plays with everyone. Check-in is at 2:15-2:30pm and ends a bit around 5pm. The time control is again G30.

4. Non-rated Quads are identical to Quads but they not rated.
