Now that summer is fast approaching, better get your plans together to prepare for some real competition coming to the Buffalo and Niagara Falls Region. The Buffalo Kellogg Leadership for Community Change (KLCC) will be hosting a new format for June 28 & 29, July 26 & 27 and August 23 & 24, 2008. The tournament will be the CAN-AM KLCC INTERNATIONAL CHESS FESTIVAL 2008.- The tournament is to attract some of our Canadian Grandmasters and International Masters to cross the border for some good old fashion American competition. This also will help those of you who desire a more competitive field of play without putting out resources for travel, hotel and meals. My hope is that this will attract more players around the the New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio areas.
- Venue: The Kenmore Community Center, 135 Wilber Avenue, Kenmore NY 14217 near the corner of Elmwood and Mang.
- Format: Two Day, Four Rounds, Swiss System, Game 40/2, SD 1. Rounds will be on both days 10am and 5pm.
- Entry fee: $50 advanced or $65 at the door. Advanced registration is always greatly appreciated is no later than 7 days prior to the tournament date.
- Prizes: Cash awards (based upon 20 entries) 1st Place $350, 2nd Place $240, and 3rd Place $130, also U2000 $230 and U1800 $200.
