I arrived in Reno a day early this year, giving me a chance to relax on Thursday and watch the first round of March Madness. Maybe I will study a few chess openings as well. Most of my students arrive tomorrow late afternoon or evening and I'll be busy from that point on.Check this blog over the weekend for updates from the Far West Open. Round 1 is on Friday at noon PDT (sorry, no live games on the internet). I expect around 200 players to show up. Also make sure to visit the USCF homepage because I have been bribed by the webmaster to write "exclusive" reports and a summary at the end of the tournament. Unfortunately, IM Josh Friedel set the bar pretty high with his descriptive and humorous articles (here's a sample from last year).
For those of you dr
iving up tomorrow or Friday, here is a preview. Have a safe trip!

Post a Comment
I have allowed public comments again, but I must approve a comment before it appears. My decision is final. Here are a few requirements:
1. Keep your comments on chess.
2. Please make constructive remarks, both if you agree or disagree.
3. Avoid insults, name-calling, accusations, profanity and adult language.
I would prefer that you sign your name, but this is not a requirement. That said, I am more likely to reject a negative comment from an anonymous poster.
