  1. What is the entry fee?

    On a somber note, Mark Diesen, "native of Buffalo New York" passed away at age 51 on Dec 10th, 2008. He was World Junior Champ in 1976 (among other things). Obit appears on Susan Polgar's blog and TWIC.

    Though perhaps born in Buffalo, he may have grown up elsewhere. Does anyone know if he played chess while in Buffalo?

    Thanks,
