Below is brief information about other aspects of the Festival, followed by information about the tournament. Caveman Chess CampThe Caveman Chess Camp has sections for all ages and strengths. The Adult Fundamentals section is for Adults only and has a maximum strength of around 1600. The class focuses on chess fundamentals that people may have missed over the years. (Do you know Steinitz's Six Principles?) Another class is Advanced Adult, which does allow juniors rated over 1700. The Master Class is open to players of any age rated 2000 and up. Classes have counselors to assist in keeping class decorum. We strongly encourage seniors to participate in the camp. If a group of seniors would like to register together, we are willing to consider an additional discount. Tournaments at the FestivalThere will be other tournaments at the same time as the US Senior, which may offer you an opportunity to travel with friends. All events are in separate playing areas.
