The tournament is followed by the Cardoza United States Open on Kona. Nine rounds, Swiss System. July 21-29, 1998. Time control is the FIDE standard of forty moves in two hours, followed by twenty moves in one hour, with the remaining moves completed in an additional half hour for each player. 50 per person.
All rooms have refrigerators.
The hotel is the site of the tournament. The hotel is just a short walk from the beach, and overlooks Ala Wai canal. There is an outdoor pool on the 6th floor. For those with special needs, or who just want to go the deluxe route, we have rooms at the Marc Suites Waikiki and Marc Suites Waikiki Royal , both a few blocks away, but closer to the beach. At this late date, only on-site registration is available.
