US Chess Federation Gold LogoChess Buzz for August 15, 1997

This Week's Topic: Who Will Win the US Championship?

"It's not a real championship unless there's only one player left standing."Coach Everett Marshall

Last week GM Nick de Firmian was in the Buzz for his contributions to MCO, the chess-player's "bible". But this week things get a little less theoretical as de Firmian and 15 other top US players start the countdown to the 1997 Interplay US Championship.

Who will win? Check the Feature Story for information on the wildcards and Cinderella players hoping to make it to the top in the new knock-out format for the most prestigious event in the United States chess calendar.

 

Well, that's the buzz for this week.
