Rapid tournaments in and around Vilnius 5

Rapid at eight minutes plus four is the house pace of Vilniaus šachmatų klubas. The studio on Žalgirio gatvė hosts the districts league, whose stages fall on a Thursday every four weeks between September and December, and the rapid marathon, four stages a season roughly two weeks apart, starting at 19:00. The Friday evenings of Variantas penktadieniui use the same pace for Bughouse, Dice Chess and other variants.

The company league plays rapid too, four boards against four on weekday evenings from October to April, at the offices of the member companies. Outside the city, the Border Guard School at Medininkai has held a rapid cup and an inter-institution tournament for border-guard staff. The listings give sections, entry details and the exact pace.
