World Chess Live Standard Tournaments
The Random Draw Tournament
The Random Draw (usually called the RD on the site) is a four-round, 15-minute game tournament that is held every night but Friday at 10:00 PM Eastern Time (New York). The tournament is open to join at 9:40 PM and needs eight chess players in order to run. At the end of each month, a random winner is chosen and awarded something special (hence the name of the tournament).
The Titanium King Challenge Tournament
The Titanium King Challenge, known affectionately as the TKC, is a four-round, 25-minute tournament that begins at around 12:30 AM Eastern Time (New York). This tournament is run every single night at World Chess Live, and is becoming very popular! As always, players of all levels enter this tournament, providing a decent challenge for every chess player involved. This tournament is especially popular with the crowd who are also members of the Slow Time Control (STC) Bunch at http://stcbunch.net/news1.php .
