All events at the Civic Pavilion Hall, City Hall Plaza, Boston and are supported in part by a grant from the Mayor's Office of Arts and Culture.

A US Chess Federation titled player will guide participants at each workshop covering elements of the opening, the middle game and endgame. This year our presenters include GM Leonid Kritz, WGM Nadya Kosintseva and NM Ryan Young.

​Target Audience

5DC workshops are suitable for players who have mastered the basics of chess and are now seeking to get to intermediate level. Suitable for those with ratings between 800 and 1,400. Adults and juniors ages 10 and up. The tournament is open to everyone regardless of their rating.
