Autumn Lightning Tournament
This is a traditional start of season tournament to shake the cobwebs from the summer break from serious chess competition. The format is that each player receives 10 minutes on their clock to finish all their moves. For each 100 points of difference in grading the stronger player loses a minute on their clock down to a minimum of two minutes. The standard rules of chess apply but if any player makes an illegal move such as leave their king in check then they lose the game immediatly.
