Written by Robert N. Bernard for Wholesale Chess
So your child has been playing chess for a while, and his or her chess teacher has suggested they play in a tournament. Your child begs you to play; “They even have trophies – big ones!” the child exclaims. You relent, and the chess teacher provides the time and place. How should you prepare? Once you get there, what should you expect?
Many kids’ first tournaments are small, local gatherings (of perhaps 10-20 participants), but some are noticeably larger. Most of what’s written here applies to most of the tournaments in the USA and Canada, but there will always be some variation. Continue Reading »
