Supporting the Washington International
Hits: 851
The Washington International will be the first major international tournament in the MD/DC/VA region in a long time. We plan to make this tournament different than most tournaments in the US. We're going to provide a top quality environment for the players and allow supporters to be involved with the event in various ways. We like to make this an ongoing tournament and make into a major international event. For this to work we need the help of the chess community. Our biggest need is for sponsors and donors to help cover the costs of bringing in the foreign titled players we need to allow US players to earn GM and IM norms.
