US Amateur South Set for Memphis, June 4-5







Rumor has it that top-level Grandmasters and
International Masters will be appearing at the
US Amateur South Chess Championship at the
University of Memphis held on June 4-5!

Official Release at the USCF:

U.S. Amateur kicks off an exciting week in Memphis!

Ever feel like you don't have a chance at winning a national championship because there are too many high-rated players to compete with? Well, in Memphis on June 4-5, 2011 the U.S. Amateur South rolls into town to give everyone a chance at getting a national title. The U.S. Amateur is only open to people with a rating under 2200. That means grandmasters stay away! This tournament will be held at the University of Memphis in two sections: Championship (under 2200) and Reserve (under 1600). It promises to be an exciting action-packed event with five rounds. And you might even get to see a grandmaster or two! Don't worry, they cannot play but Grandmaster Alex Stripunsky among others will be walking around. They will be willing to meet you and even sign autographs if you want.
