Dear Parents, and Players,
We are preparing for the 14th Annual Susan Polgar Foundation Open Championship for Boys and Girls and we hope that you can join us for this great and fun event!
This year the event is moved to the South Bay area to be closer to the center chess hub!
We are planning some very special side events, and fun things to spend your time between rounds and for Friday evening to warm up!
*** GM Susan Polgar will be of attendance on both days! Plenty of time to meet her, talk and take pictures with her, and ask any questions! ***
There are two different schedules:
- All championship sections are 2-day events, with 3 rounds on both Saturday and Sunday.
- The Reserve section players rated under500 in K-Grade6 or under800 in K-Grade12 as a one day event only, who should be coming on Saturday.
Did you attend the Spring States on March 9-10? This is a great continuation of that event, and great opportunity for any player to continue with their tournament "fever" :) Special for this tournament, that Girls and Boys are in different sections! Fun fun :)
Also, the winners of the Girls' sections are getting special invitation to the Girls Invitational in June!
Registration is not through BAC's website, but through www.spfno.com exclusively!
