Tournaments
We organize regular (approx. monthly) correspondence chess tournaments on Chess.com platform and regular (seasonal) live chess tournaments.
Live, in-person chess tournaments take place every third weekend of the month, in the afternoon (Saturday or Sunday—depends on various factors including weather; exactly agreed and published before the event itself) in Ljubljana in one of its most pleasant bars:
- NewCastle Pub (map, Facebook),
- Sports park Savsko naselje (map, Facebook),
- Blef Pub (map, Facebook),
- Puzzle Pub (map, Facebook).
Depending on the number of participants, the tournament is usually conducted according to the Berger system (round-robin or all-play-all), or, in case of many participants, the Swiss system (everyone plays multiple matches), and the time control is blitz chess 10+0. An additional rule applies that if both players agree, they may also play the 960 chess variant, which is often found much more amusing.
Welcome are chess players of all affiliations and all levels of ability! If convenient to you, please sign-up for the upcoming tournament in advance, so that we know approximately how many will come. There are usually 5-13 participants and the tournament lasts 2-3 hours.
