West Virginia State Championship

The 2012 West Virginia State Chess Championship is a little over a week away. This year the championship is being held at Cedar Lakes near Ripley, WV. Registration is $50 on site.

As always, the tournament uses a six-round Swiss System format with a time control of 35 moves in 90 minutes followed by a 60-minute sudden death period. Rounds will be held over the Labor Day weekend, from September 1-3.

West Virginia players must be members of the West Virginia Chess Association to play. Residents of other states may use their own state association's membership, but will not be eligible for the title of champion.
