πŸ† VCS Friday Quads (In Person)


Why Encourage Your Child to Join Chess Tournaments?

Tournament participation is an essential part of chess education.

We encourage players of all levels, including beginners, to sharpen their skills by competing regularly:

  • Tournaments are organized by player ratings to ensure fair matchups.
  • Participation builds resilience, sportsmanship, and character.
  • Success is measured by growth, not just results.
  • Player's parents are free to join, but their results will not be submitted for CFC rating (i.e., they play as unrated guests).

πŸ’₯ Why VCS Friday Quads?

  • βœ… Fun, safe, and welcoming in-person environment
  • βœ… Play against carefully matched opponents at your level
  • βœ… Gain real tournament experience and confidence
  • βœ… Prepare for rated events and long-term chess success
  • βœ… All games impact your official CMA & CFC Quick rating
  • βœ… Supervised by professional arbiters and coaches
