Reti Competition for Members of the Chess Association

Yigal Boimwald, an athlete, chess player, and above all an outstanding person and beloved member of the Reti Club, passed away about two years ago. This is the second competition dedicated to his memory.

Every Monday, from November 9, 2026, through December 28, 1996 (there will be no round on December 7, 2026, during Hanukkah).

Registration constitutes a commitment to all the competition dates.

Game time control: 90 minutes per player per game, plus 30 seconds per move. Pairing system: 7 Swiss-system rounds.

Elegant trophies will be awarded to the three winners and the surprise player. A 2026 Israeli Chess Federation competitor’s book is required, or an additional ₪70 in cash for rating fees, which will be transferred as a tax to the federation.

The competitions will count toward an Israeli rating.
