The Faculty of Computer Science at Dalhousie University is proud to sponsor the inaugural Dalhousie Atlantic Cup (DAC), a chess tournament set to take place in the vibrant city of Halifax, Nova Scotia.

Section A is designed for players who hold a CFC rating equal to or higher than 1700, while section B is for players with a CFC rating of 1699 or lower.</p> <p>With 7 rounds and a time control of 1 hour plus a 30-second increment, players will have the opportunity to showcase both their stamina and their skills in this CFC-rated tournament.</p> <p>The top 8 participants from section A will advance to a subsequent CFC and FIDE rated tournament held one week later, where they will fight through a multi-level bracket system for the coveted Dalhousie Atlantic Cup! The champion will win $500 as well as a trophy, and the other finalists will be honored with medals, commemorating their achievement and participation.</p> <p>But the fun does not end there! Between the two tournaments, participants can enjoy a variety of events:</p> <ul> <li>test their knowledge with a chess quiz for a chance to win prizes;</li> <li>collectively play a game against one of the very first chess engines imagined by Alan Turing;</li> <li>team-up with a chess buddy for spirited games of Bughouse, a fun and fast-paced team chess variant;</li> <li>for a change of pace, join for a friendly soccer match in a nearby park, fostering camaraderie and sportsmanship among the chess community!</li> </ul> <p>The Dalhousie Atlantic Cup is more than just a tournament.
