The Edmondson Cup

The National Open is a unique chess experience, featuring a $100,000 Prize Fund with $70,000 guaranteed. Fred Gruenberg brought this tournament to Las Vegas in 1983 and the tournament retains his traditions of fun and excitement.

GM Timur Gareyev is the first clear winner since IM Leonid Bass won the National Open 26 years ago.

Thank you to our many loyal players who keep coming back year after year, for the Chess Event of the Year: the Las Vegas International Chess Festival.

Be sure to mark your calendar for the 2011 National Open, June 10-12.
