<p class=""><strong><u>Next 2.5 hours</u></strong><br />We’ll transition into approximately 2+ hours of casual chess play, organized as quad-style mini tournaments. Players will be grouped with others of similar level to keep games fun, competitive, and friendly. This format is great for getting multiple games in without the pressure of a formal tournament.</p>

<p class=""><strong><u>Last 5-10 minutes</u></strong><br />To wrap things up, we’ll host a raffle with fun chess-related prizes, and there may also be prizes for all participants and selected winners, depending on turnout.</p>
