Description: Want to play strong opponents? Then this event is for you! We have assembled a gang of strong players. Chess gladiators, all rated at least 2000, and some much higher. They're not playing each other, they're playing the challengers. They're playing YOU! Can you score a point? Test your might! Participation is limited to club members. The price for non-members in the registration menu below includes a one-year adult membership for the club. If you'd like a different membership tier, please head to [our Membership page](https://boylstonchess.org/membership). Participation is also currently limited to the first 10 players to sign up, but may expand depending on how many Gladiators we can recruit. The fine print: Challengers will play gladiators at least 3 out of 4 rounds. If challengers play each other, there will be no more than a 100 rating point difference or a difference of 2 places on the wallchart. Pairings will be calculated and published in advance and include randomness as opposed to standard swiss pairings. This event is USCF rated, and a current US Chess membership is required. Please visit [the US Chess Membership site](https://new.uschess.org/join-us-chess) to join or renew. We are still recruiting gladiators, but as of August 1 we have commitments from two FIDE-titled players and two USCF masters, with many more inquiries outstanding.
