What are online quads?

Much like our very popular Friday Night Quads, Online Quads feature 3 quality chess games against students with a similar NWRS chess rating. 

Playing students of a similar skill level ensures that every game your child plays will be challenging and productive in their chess development. 

In addition to their games, students will enjoy live coach interaction, game analysis, and the opportunity to engage with fellow Chess4life students! 

Bring the excitement and community of Chess4life Quads to your living room! 

 

 

 

Technical Requirements:

  • Registered students will receive the link and program access information via the email provided.
  • Online tournaments will be held through Zoom online meeting software.
  • Students must create an account through LiChess that is set to kid-mode in order to participate in group activities and tournaments.

 

Q. Is this an NWSRS-rated event?
A. Yes! Due to the Covid-19 crisis, the NWSRS rating platform is temporarily allowing online games to be rated. Our coaches will submit results as we normally do for in-person tournaments.
 
Q. How many rounds is this even and when should I expect it to end?
A. Quads are a 3 round tournament. The time control for each round is G/30 or G/25 with a five-second increment. Each quad begins their next round immediately following the conclusion of all games in the quad. While highly rated players who use all their time may go as late as 10pm, most players will be done between 8pm-9pm.
 
Q. How will you address cheating? What should I do if I suspect someone is cheating?
A. If cheating is suspected, our team will review the games and take action accordingly.  
 
Q. What will my child do in between rounds? Should they stay present at the computer the whole time?
A. In between rounds, students are welcome to take a break, but we will also offer engaging activities for students to keep them fresh and ready to perform at their best!
 
Q. Is there anything for my child to do if they finish all their games really early?
A. Yes! They will have the options of joining a just-for-fun Variant Tournament on Lichess with other kids that finish early. Coaches will provide those details the during Quads.
 
Q. What platforms will you be using?
A. We will use Zoom and Lichess to run the tournament. The Zoom link will be provided upon registration. You must provide Chess4Life with your child's Lichess username when you register. If your child does not have a username, please visit lichess.org to create an account and set the account to Kid Mode (provide Kid Mode linked instructions here)
 
Q. Can my child participate on a tablet, or do they need a computer?
A. We strongly recommend that your student use a laptop or desktop computer.
 
Q. Do Quad punchcards work for online quads?
A. Yes! Online quads can be purchased using your grandfathered punchcards. Our automated punchcard system will also work with online quads just like it does for in-person quads!
 
Q. How are student's paired?
A. Students will be paired based on their skill level. Our coaches will ensure that all players in a quad are at a similar chess level.
 
Q. Where will results be posted after quads finish?
A. Quad pairings and results will be hosted on this web page:
 
Q. Will there be trophies handed out for online quads? 
A. Yes! We will be tracking quad winners and we will let you know when we're back in centers and your trophy is available for pick up!
