GM Arthur Bisguier, will be on hand each round to analyze your tournament games for free. Let the Dean of American Chess help start you on the road to better play. Sessions begin 2 hours after the start of each round.

IM John Donaldson will give 3 lectures towards the end of each morning round.

GM Susan Polgar will give a lecture Friday as part of the Susan Polgar World Open for Girls and Boys. It is primarily for players and their coaches and families, but others are welcome as space permits.

On Saturday GM Polgar will give another lecture of more general appeal.

Rulebook Tactics. Learn the rulebook secrets for making the rules work for you while avoiding typical "chess lawyer" tricks. NTD Tim Just, author of the current USCF Rulebook, will lead the discussions. This Sunday afternoon lecture is for all players, not just for tournament directors.

Players and tournament directors wanting more in-depth training than the free lectures can provide are encouraged to sign up for our Thursday Chess Camp.
