LA Chess Ladder is born with 5 members!
There are a few things you and your opponent should chat about before you start the challenge. First, decide whether to use a time control or not and if so, what setting. If you can’t decide, use G30. Then, decide whether to use the touch rule or not. Finally, decide whether to record the moves or not. Recording the moves is a great way to learn and can also be helpful in resolving some disputes. See the Ladder Rules page for more details. Remember to send your results.
If there are any disagreements during a match, you can flip a coin or call Darren at (310) 729-7721 to resolve the matter. Email the results to lachessladder.com when you finish the challenge.
L.A. Chess Spot: Los Angeles Chess Fortress is a chess community run by ladder player, Bryan Rivera. Events all over L.A. Check it out!
