The Knights Quest 2009-2010 season has been cancelled

After weeks of trying to find a way to squeeze everything in, we had to decide to cut some commitments so that we could regain a little time for the family. Thank you to everyone that has participated in all of the Knights tournaments and Knights in Nampa over the years, it has been a pleasure. This site and the webchess server will stay up and running.

Always try to find the best move! (In chess and in life)

There are 1000 Knights Quest points available for the 6 tournaments from Oct through March
Standings at the end of the 2009-2010 Knights Quest season will determine trophies and cash prizes awarded on March 13th, 2010

Players can request bye points for up to two of the first four tournaments if they have other commitments that prevent them from attending. The points given for a missed tournament will be equal to the number of points for a player that would have shown up and lost all of their games. This will help reduce the penalty for having other things in life to do besides chess. :)
During each tournament, players can request a bye for any round other than the last round of that tournament. 1/2 point will be given for a bye. Requests must be made before the end of the first round. Total number of byes for each tournament allowed is listed in the chart below.

Entry Fee (for each tournament):
$7 if pre-registered using the IdahoChess.net registration page by 9pm on the Friday night directly before tournament
$10 procrastinator special at the door

Bring your chess clocks (digital preferred) if you have them.
