The 11th Virginia Open has been set to take place across two weekends starting April 16 on OGS. The tournament will consist of six rounds and features cash prizes for the top open division as well as awards and certificates across five other divisions and for top youth and female players. Webcams will be required for the top two boards of the final three rounds via a Zoom meeting hosted by the TDs. International players are also welcome to participate, and two 8 dan players from Thailand have already registered.
The games from the tournament will be unofficially rated so players can have a post-tournament provisional rating. Yoonyoung Kim 8P will also review six games from the tournament on her Twitch channel at a later date.
Details and registration can be found here, and the registration will close on April 12th. Any inquiries can be directed to agatd1@gmail.com.
