RVCC SUMMER GAME 10 CHAMPIONS RESULTS
As part of its series of special, one-day, unrated tournaments, the Roanoke Valley Chess Club recently held its SUMMER GAME 10 CHAMPIONSHIP TOURNAMENT. This tournament was held on Saturday, August 22, 2015 in the Community Room of the Roanoke Natural Foods Co-Op in Roanoke, Virginia.
The tournament was a round-Robin event, with 90% of entries being returned as prizes.
The time control was Game in 10 with a 5 second increment and was played under modified Quick Chess Rules.
This tournament marked the end of our series of special one day tournaments and there was plenty of excitement and drama in all of the games.
In all, there were 3 players who won cash prizes!
