Chess Jam 2007 FAQ
I can't play in all five rounds because I have to be somewhere else for awhile that day.
Can I still play?
Yes, you can still play in Chess Jam! Indicate on your entry which rounds you will be missing. You'll get a free 1/2 point bye for each of the first two rounds you need to miss.So what's the schedule for each round?
Schedule for K-1, 2-3 and 4-6th grade sections:
Rd 1 9:45, Rd 2 11:15, then a lunch break, Rd 3 12:45, Rd 4 2:00, Rd 5 3:15.
Schedule for 7th-12th grade section: Rd 1 9:15, Rd 2 10:55, Rd 3 12:35, Rd 4 2:15, Rd 5 4:00.Will concessions be available?
Yes, and this year it's operated by the Moutain View, Custer, Skyline and North Bellingham Elementary Chess Club Boosters. So bring pizza money! And if we're lucky (still unconfirmed) The Chess House will arrive with chess clocks, boards, books, software and more for perusal and purchase.
I don't even know how to play chess. Is it hard?
Easy to learn, hard to master. Learn, and then come play with us! Have a friend show you! Or read (then print out) the rules here. Only three things you need to know to play: 1.The starting position. 2.How the six different pieces move. 3.How the game ends. (Get the King!)I'm not a good chessplayer. Should I play in Chess Jam?
Sure! Come jam with the rest of us patzers. We're all learning, and you don't have to be a Grandmaster to have fun at chess. Besides, the Swiss pairings system will match you with opponents of equal ability (after a few rounds). And just think of how much better you'll be after a day of chess jamming.
Do I have to write down the moves?
At Chess Jam scorekeeping is required in the 7th-12th grade section . To learn how, have a teacher or friend show you, or go here. Hey, it's good for you! One of the best ways to improve is to review your games after a tournament. (Besides being able to show your friends the awesome move you made that clinched the game.) Also, learning chess notation opens you to the whole wide world of chess literature. So, bring a pen or pencil, scoresheets will be provided.If I haven't taken my hands off of the chess piece yet, can I change my mind?
In a rated tournament like this one, if you even touch a chess piece, you must move it! And if you touch an opponent's piece, you must capture it! So sit on your hands until you know what you want to do. If a piece needs to be centered or adjusted, you may do so by first saying "I adjust".Will we use chess clocks? How do they work?
We'll use clocks in the 7-12 section, and in the lower sections on the upper boards only, and if your game goes really long. Chess clocks are a great invention. They keep slow players from slowing and losing players from stalling. Here's how it works: After your move, you hit the button nearest you on the chess clock. Your timer stops, and your opponent's timer begins. In this tournament each player gets either 30 minutes (K-6 section) or 45 minutes (7-12 section), thus ensuring that no game goes over 60 minutes (or 90 minutes). If a player uses up all his time, it's a loss just like checkmate. If a game starts without a clock and goes really long, we may put a clock on the game, with the time equally elapsed, as one becomes available.How do school team awards work?
The team scoring used will be similar to cross-country meet scoring. In each section the best four results from a single school will be tallied and compared with other schools. Efforts are made not to pair players from the same school. Eligibility rules are those used by WHSCA for State events at the MS and HS level, and at Elem. level we use the eligibility rules used at Elem. State.The High School section uses McMahon Swiss pairings. What's that?
The 7th-12th graders generally have ratings that are more established than in the elementary sections. So we're using McMahon Swiss pairings, which allows players of similar strength to play each other sooner, and avoids first round mismatches (i.e. having to play someone 600 points higher/lower than yourself). It's the same as a regular Swiss tourney, except players in the top half of the field begin the tourney with a point. With McMahon, top half players play each other starting in the first round rather than the second, as do lower half players. It's as if the tourney began with one round already played. (Don't worry - you still get to play five games!)Is this tourney an Elementary State Qualifier tournament? Tell me about State.
The largest chess tournament in the state every year is not the Washington Open, the Seafair Open or the State High School Team Championships, it's the State Elementary Championships. Two years ago it was held in Lynden and saw 1,135 players compete. And consider this: to attend, players had to first qualify by posting a winning record in a qualifying tournament.To qualify for Elementary State, a Washington student "in grades 1-6 must score at least 3/5 in a WSRS-rated Scholastic Chess Tournament in Washington State with at least 32 players per section, and three or more schools participating. Players in Grade K need to score 2/5 in a divison which includes K-2 players." A list of qualifying players can be found at the WHSCA website.
