Trophy Pick-up

Trophies earned as part of the 2020 Mechanics' Summer Scholastic Championship will only be available for pick up at the Mechanics' Institute in person, and only after it has re-opened. We will notify winners when the building is open, as well as the hours available for trophy pick up, which will likely include weekends. Trophies will not be mailed out by special request.
 
 
Fair Play Rules
 
All games in a chess competition require that fairness prevail, and that people do not use outside sources or help in any way. This is particularly true in online competition. We expect all players and parents to help us protect the integrity of the competition by making sure everything is done so that all games are played fairly and without the help of computers or other people. 
 
To help ensure this, all games from the rated championship section will be verified for fair play by Dr. Kenneth W. Regan, Department of Computer Science and Engineering, University at Buffalo. He is one of the leading experts in detecting fair play violations in chess. We will post tentative results at the conclusion of the tournament . We will post final results when the fair play screening is complete. We expect this to be completed about 3-5 after the conclusion of the tournament.
Players who have been found violating fair play will be removed from Mechanics' Institute Chess Club's online clubs.
Games that were played by players with fair play violation will be marked as loss, will be reported for online rating as such, and opponents' scores will be adjusted.
