(Newswire.net — December 14, 2015) Raleigh, NC — Bored Never Blog, a site for entertainment at every hour for any person, will feature the upcoming Scott Tucker First Annual Chess Tournament hosted by expert chess coach Scott Tucker. The invite- only closed tournament will be regulated according to the World Chess Federation handbook guidelines and will conclude with one individual champion.
“Competitions are a fun way to get out of dead zone of boredom,” says Bored Never Blog contributor Sarah Kraft. “Entering a tournament like this requires some confidence in existing skills or a willingness to be humbled by a lack of preparation. Either way it should be a really fun little private tournament that Tucker is hosting for the chess playing community of Raleigh.”
Tucker announced the chess tournament in a recent article on the Bored Never Blog. The individual competition style private event will feature chess players from throughout North and South Carolina including players from Raleigh. Tucker’s current students, over the age of 10, will participate in the round-robin style tournament.
“There are not enough chess tournaments in this area for a person to stay really active in the game,” says Tucker. “I wanted to give my students an opportunity to play in a real tournament with people outside of their standard competitive circle and make them work a little harder than their used to. Of course the players attending who aren’t my students should prepare as well.”
The tournament will be free for invited players to enter and compete, with guests and general public attending the event for $5 per person. Refreshments will be served at no cost throughout the event. The competition will last between 1-2 days depending on the number of attending invitees.
Bored Never Blog will feature the event with photos and video of tournament play as well as interviews with the top two competitors and Tucker. The winner of the tournament will receive a $250 cash prize and a custom Scott Tucker Chess Tournament trophy.
