Susan,
when will you posting the new sp all-star team?
It is a shame this event was not advertised in the Chess community or with other organizers. This is a wonderful event and my child has participated both last year and in Vegas. I am aware of at least two other tournaments that may take away solid players.
Dear Susan:
Is it ture there won't be any National Girls Polgar Tournament this year? It was scheduled late July originally. Where would the girls state champions play then?
Looks like a great place to enjoy some chess!
