Join us in Root Hall at the Museum of Arts & Sciences for a real chess tournament and observe some of Volusia County's best chess players in action. This tournament is called Blitz Chess and is a battle to determine the area’s best blitz player. Blitz Chess is also known as Speed Chess, 5-minute Chess, Lighting Chess (2-minute), and Bullet Chess (1-minute). Every player will play everyone else at the tournament two times, once as black and once as white. One point is given for a win, half a point for a draw, and no points for a loss. The player with the most points at the end of the tournament will take home a trophy and the title of Volusia County Chess Club Blitz Champion.
Free for members or with paid museum admission.
