CAS would like to inform that the third installment of the Allegro series will be held on 8th Sept @ DAT Chess Connections, 4th floor, Wilayah Complex, KL.
This is a NATIONAL-RATED Event. The event will be divided into two categories namely Category 1 for players with National
Rating 1400 and above, while Category 2 for players below National Rating 1400.
Due to space constrain with the new setup in the playing
hall, we can only accept the first 120 entries in total.
How is this year edition going to be different from previous years?
1. CAS
has decided to raise the prize fund to RM 3,000/= [Take note: Before 2013, the prize fund for this event was around RM 1,800 for two categories combined].
2. CAS
has decided to offer equal prize fund for both categories. Over the years, CAS
receives strong support from players in Category 2, so we felt that it is time
that we should be rewarding players in this group.
3. CAS is
introducing special prizes for Selangor Players.
4. CAS offers more cash
prize for lower positions to encourage more participation.
5. CAS create more category prizes to encourage participation from all walks of life.
6. The event
is going to be played over 7 rounds while maintaining the incremental time mode of 10 seconds per move.
We hope that with the improvise structure, we will continue to get strong
support platform from the chess community to drive our events to new heights.
