May Standard Tournament: New 2pm European Section!

Chessclub.com is adding two new sections to the popular monthly
Standard Tournament!  We had a number of requests from European
members to hold sections at an earlier time, so that they could
participate.  Starting in May, there will be an Open and an
Under-1500 section at 2pm EDT (6pm GMT).  Everyone is welcome to
enter the 2pm sections, whether or not they live in Europe.

The sections, rules, and account names for entering and pairings
have been changed.  Everyone who is interested in playing should
read the new rules carefully in 

         help STtourney

even if you have played in these events before.

The May Standard Tournament begins Tuesday, May 9.  The entry
deadline is 11pm Sunday, May 7.  You play one game each Tuesday,
with a time control of 60 0.  You can choose to play in the 2pm,
8pm or 11pm sections.  There are prizes of ICC membership extensions.

Type help STtourney on chessclub.com for the rules and how to
enter.  You enter by sending the message described in the help
file to the STtourney or STtourneyEurope accounts.
