A blast from the past – 6 Packs – No beer included!
Brisbane Chess Club 1989 – see below
6 Pack Series
They attract the top players because there are no “easy” rounds.
Top section can be FIDE rated at one round per night with a decent time control.
Juniors have to hack their way up to the top section. By the time they get to the top section,
their rating is more realistic.
Round-Robin – people know who they are playing from Round 1 and and can prepare.
If you cannot make it on club night, simply contact your opponent and make arrangements.
I don’t think the Russians had even heard of a Swiss event until the mid-sixties.
It was all Grade and Round-Robin chess. They seem to have managed ok.
