Natale sotto Scacco

The Municipality of Fonzaso in collaboration with the Feltrino Chess Club "L'Avamposto" is pleased to propose and organize the initiative Christmas Under Check, which will be held on Wednesday, December 24, 2025, starting at 10:00 AM in the Town Hall.

A unique chess tournament open to all enthusiasts that consists of five rounds of play with an Italian-Swiss pairing system (any tiebreakers for the final ranking will take place using the Buchholz method), each of which grants the player twelve minutes of thinking time, plus three additional seconds for each move made, ticking the clock that measures the respective level of concentration and speed of play.

Registrations, open until fifteen minutes before the start of the tournament, can be made free of charge by sending a WhatsApp message to the following number 340 4183433 (Alessandro), but pre-registration on the site vesus.org or via email at feltrinoscacchi@gmail.com is recommended.

The tournament has a maximum number of thirty participants, including those from outside the Municipality.

In the playing room, it is forbidden to introduce smartphones and other electronic devices, except in cases of extreme necessity, to be mutually agreed upon with the referees in advance.

For any other aspects not expressly regulated in the announcement, the event organizers will adhere to the current regulations provided by the FIDE International Regulation.
