New York's Marshall
Chess Club will host the 3rd New York International, a tournament
open to players with a USCF or FIDE rating of 2200 or higher, from June
18 to 22, 2010. For more details, download the pdf flyer. With 74 early entries (including 13 GM's and 13 IM's) from 14 countries, the event will for the first time meet the 20/10 FIDE regulation for foreign rated and titled players, increasing the likelihood of FIDE title norms.
The star-studded field is led by Indian Super-Grandmasters Surya Ganguly (2672 FIDE), Pentala Harikrishna (2660), and Sandipan Chanda (2640.) Participating American top-players include GM's Robert Hess (2590, this month's Chess Life Magazine cover star) Alexander Shabalov (2585) and Joel Benjamin (2565.) See the complete preregistration list on the Marshall Chess Club blog.
