Meeting of the Minds!

Question: Who will win when IM Dr. Ken Regan and IM Dr. Danny Kopec face each other this Friday evening at the Niagara Falls Conference Center from 6-10 PM as part of the Niagara Falls Chess Festival and Second Annual Jeff White Memorial-Excelsior Open this weekend?

Answer: We all will! This chess exhibition/symposium "How to Think Like a Chess Master" will be a rare opportunity to see and hear how an Internation Master of chess approaches and plays a chess game. It will include a Game/60 match in which each of these two outstanding players will be in separate rooms in which they will speak out loud each's thought processes in analyzing the position and how each derived the next move. At the conclusion of the game we all will convene in a great hall and have the opportunity to ask them anything we wish. Wow what an opportunity to learn from some of the best in chess!

Attendence to this event is included in your entry fee to the tournament. There is still time to take advantage of the $10 discount on preregistration and the ability to then attend the Friday night chess exhibition/symposium. Just publish your name in the comment section with your USCF # and regular rating by Wednesday 10/10/07 before 11:59:59 PM.

If you can not play in this weekend's tournament, but would like to come just to this exhibition/match/ symposium I would just ask that you make at least a $5 donation to the Education Fund of the children of Jeff White.
