who's goin?! there is $500,000 do be diveed up among all the winners. Hell, the lowest rated players in this tournament have a shot at $10,000!! ....and it's up and up from there.
you all know about this? GM Maurice Ashley organized the whole thing. I believe it's in May of 2005. $295 to enter if you do before Jan. and get a friend in on it as well.
They expect about 4000 participants total at this gig. Any thoughts...?? Do you think with the success of this tourney that there'll be a slow shift in the US ameteur chess world towards the "big money" now? If so, i think we'd all get our "acts" together with this game.
