Classical chess for a classy club. 🦝♟️♣️
Trash Panda Throwdowns are the WCC take on your friendly neighborhood USCF-rated tournament. Events use a variety of time controls.
For November 2025 we're taking it slow for three games of 60 minutes with a 30-second increment. Plenty of time for thoughtful endgames!
In both sections:
$10 Gift certificate for Awry Brewing. Random drawing held immediately prior to round 3.
NOTE: Event is held on the 2nd floor, stair access only.
From I-265 take the exit for Shelbyville Rd (US 60) westbound. At the first stoplight turn right onto N. English Station Road. Turn right onto Equity Place (across the street from Walmart Auto Care) and proceed around the building to the parking lot.
When you enter the parking lot, proceed to the far side of the building (see below.) Use the last door for Suite 200, then take the stairs to the second floor.

We'll be organizing a pizza delivery from Papa John's: choose from cheese, pepperoni, or mushroom. Purchase by the slice during registration at minimal cost.
$2 per slice, or $3 for every two slices of the same topping
All players and friends are invited for dinner/drinks (and maybe some blitz?) after the tournament. Only 1/2 mile from the playing site.
