The Gustafson Memorial Tournament is a traditional server event, named in honor of H. W. (Wayne) Gustafson. When Mr. Gustafson passed away in 2008, he left a bequest to CCLA to support chess events like this, a semi-class event with sections of four players and two games per opponent. All games will be played by server, with no chess engines allowed. This tournament is open to all residents of the United States and its territories, with no CCLA membership required and no entry fee! The prize for winning a section will be a $20 credit that can be used only for CCLA membership dues or, for CCLA members, as dues or entry fees for other CCLA events. Section prize is split in the event of a tie. Multiple entries are not allowed. |
| Time limit: 10 moves/30 days. |
| Entry fee: FREE ENTRY ! |
| Entry deadline: October 15, 2022 |
