SUMMARY:Berkeley Summer IM Norm Tournament
DESCRIPTION:  \nGM Irina Krush will be playing the IM Norm Tournament. Irina has been 7 times the US Women’s Champion and is the only woman that has achieved the GM title in the US.  \nBerkeley Chess School 2019 Summer  IM Norm Tournament \nFor Women! \n  \n  \nINTERNATIONAL MASTER NORM TOURNAMENT \nBerkeley Chess School presents the International Master Norm Tournament (16th-20th August).  A Women’s only IM norm tournament which is very special and unique. Only the US Women’s Championship in 2016\, 2017\, 2018\, and Cairns Cup 2019 ( GM norm possible) has been able to accomplish this as far as we know.  \nIn the world there are only 107 women that have achieved the International Master title and 27 that have accomplished the Grand Master title. In the US there are only 4 women that have achieved the International Master title and only one woman has achieved the highest title in chess: Grand Master. The only woman with a GM title in the US is Irina Krush. It is an honor to have her visiting Berkeley and playing in our tournament. \nTrue to its mission to support women in chess\, Berkeley Chess School decided to organize this event in order to give the opportunity to women to compete for an IM norm\, WGM norm or WIM norm. \nWatch our official video presentation. \n\nhttp://www.berkeleychessschool.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/06/International-Master-Norm-Tournament_Trim.mp4\n  \nWhere:  Berkeley Chess School \n              2622 San Pablo Ave\, Berkeley\, CA 94702 \n  \nWhen:     IM Section:         Friday\, August 16 – Tuesday\, August 20th\, 2019 \n9 Rounds; Round Robin Format \n IM Group USCF + FIDE Rated \nTime Control:  G/90; Increment 30 sec \nSofia rules will apply \nTo watch live games online:     IM Section\n  \n  \n  \nIM Section              Pairings         Standings\nOpening Ceremony:  Friday\, August 16th\, 2019; 6:30PM \nRound 1: Friday\, August 16th\, 2019; 7:00PM \nRound 2: Saturday\, August 17th\, 2019; 12:00PM \nRound 3: Saturday\, August 17th\, 2019; 6:00PM \nRound 4: Sunday\, August 18th\, 2019; 12:00PM \nRound 5: Sunday\, August 18th\, 2019; 6:00PM \nRound 6: Monday\, August 19th\, 2019; 12:00PM \nRound 7: Monday\, August 19th\, 2019; 6:00PM \nRound 8: Tuesday\, August 20th\, 2019; 11:00AM \nRound 9: Tuesday\, August 20th\, 2019; 5:00PM \n  \nEntry Fee: \n$500 for IM norm seekers \n$250 for foreign IM norm seekers \nSend an email to tournaments@berkeleychessschool.com to confirm your rating eligibility. \nPay online here!\nPrizes: \nIM section:   1st: $1\,000\, 2nd: $500\, 3rd: $250 \n$200 for best game!
