| Other Comments | USCF rated blitz. Boards and pieces provided; please bring a chess clock if you have one, as we have a limited number of in-house clocks available. This event is held in a public atmosphere with casual chess players and other patrons present, so there is no guarantee of a quiet playing environment. Please no outside food or drinks. |
