I’m assuming spectating is not an option. Thanks!

The Chess Festival is scheduled and hotels are booked years in advance. So the real question is “are you going to cancel again?” and the answer is no. We will do everything possible to keep our players safe, and we anticipate that enough players will be vaccinated by June to make the tournament viable. We will be posting our safety precautions in our FAQ soon.

We understand that some players will be unable or unwilling to attend an event in June. We hope to see them next year, or at other events which we may run in fall. Other players are chomping at the bit for opportunities to play and are willing to abide by our safety precautions.
