I am happy to announce that we have just confirmed GM Yuriy Kuzubov (Ukraine) for the 2009 SPICE Cup (September 19-29 2009).
He just tied for first at Gurgaon Open in India. His current rating is approximately 2630 and he is ranked #10 on the world junior list (Wesley So is at #9 and Magnus Carlsen is at #1).
The 2008 SPICE Cup was a category 15 event, the highest rated 10 player International round robin tournament in U.S. history. The 2009 SPICE Cup will be at least a category 16 event (likely to be category 17)!
It will once again be held on campus at Texas Tech University and is co-organized by Texas Tech University, SPICE and the Susan Polgar Foundation.
We are also adding a B group, an Open tournament, as well as a scholastic tournament as part of the SPICE Cup Chess Festival.
Wow! Impressive! Congrats!
How come the USCF doesn’t post about your event and yet so many of CCA events?
Please invite GM Onischuk again. He just won Moscow Open.
