Daily Newsletter & Commemorative Tournament CD
A daily newsletter, the National Open News, will be provided free of charge to every participant in the Las Vegas International Chess Festival! Each newsletter will include highlights of the events from the previous day, photos and annotated games.

To complete your festival experience and give yourself a memento that will last you a life time, we offer a Commemorative Tournament CD. Each CD is only $20 in advance or $25 on site and will contain hundreds of games from the National Open and other festival events in both ChessBase and PGN format so you can use your favorite chess playing program to enjoy them. It will also include electronic copies of the daily National Open News for you to print at home in color along with hundreds of photographs covering all of the festival's activities. CDs will be mailed on Wednesday, June 15th. The National Open News and commemorative CDs are prepared by Chris Bird.

Previous News Letters are still available on line.
