Boylston Chess: USCF-rated Swiss Tournaments online




USCF-Rated Swiss Tournaments online prep


Fellow Boylston Chess Club members,

I hope everyone is faring well in chess-at-home lockdown, and I look forward to offering USCF-Rated Swiss Tournaments for BCC on chess.com very soon.   However, there is a major step that must be completed by any player wishing to play in online Rated chess events on chess.com.

Any player who wants to play in a USCF-Rated online tournament here on chess.com needs to fill out this form one time: https://www.chess.com/news/view/uscf-member-authentication-9266. Once you have done so, please join the US Chess Members Only Club here: https://www.chess.com/club/uschess-members-only. After that you will be eligible to play in any USCF-Rated online tournament provided that you maintain a USCF Membership in good standing.

If you do not know your 5-digit PIN #, it is on your mailing label of your hard-copy Chess Life issue.  If you do not have that, you can request your PIN from USCF directly.

You may message me on chess.com (xenophon98) if you have any questions or suggestions.  Thanks and let’s help BCC have a big online presence on chess.com.

Nicholas P. Sterling, Ph.D.
BCC, Tournament Director
