The audience for my genre analysis are chess players. I am able to connect with my audience since my

genre focuses on explaining a huge chess tournament that they may likely be interested in. They can expect an

expository analysis on the chess tournament. To some extent, I think I’m only meeting expectations. Being

Credible is always an attribute your audience takes into account. I find myself credible in making this

examination since I’ve both played in and hosted chess tournaments in the past. My purpose for this analysis is

to make sure my target audience understands every bit of detail for the STCS Thanksgiving Open. I don’t need

to provide translations since it is an English document. The inspection all together will be formatted in MLA.

Quoting an idea from the document does require quotation marks around it.

The STCS Thanksgiving Open Chess Tournament Invite is more commonly examined by chess players,

Typically when they are interested in participating in an upcoming tournament. Different components are taken

into account when the invitation is inspected: Rated/Unrated, Time Control, Date, Location, Entry Fee. All

features shape the players mind into whether or not they are interested in the tournament. To an outsider, this

may look like a friendly competition, but there are some light stakes at hand.

Among the chess community there are two types of players: rated and unrated. Rated players

take part in a numeric rating system (ELO) and compete against those who are similar in ELO, each loss

or win affects this number motivating players to improve. Unrated players however, don’t have a rating

either because they have never played competitively or don’t want to, The STCS Thanksgiving Open

invites both rated and unrated players to compete. And although it may sound funny that unrated players

are invited, the tournament doesn’t affect your ELO.
