Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
Congratulations to all of the young ladies and for Susan Polgar and all of her volunteers for organizing such a great event. Well done!
Thank you to Texas Tech for hosting the event and for awarding scholarships.
What scholarships were awarded and to whom?
I’ve been following this year’s SP National Invitational for Girls with great pleasure. It sure looked like the girls and their families had a great time. The best yet, Susan. I really like looking at the photos and the videos. Congratulations to Yang Dai, the top finishers and to all of the young ladies who took part in this fantastic event. I was rooting for Wisconsin 🙂

I quite agree! Thank you for such a wonderful event. . .I am so glad my daughter could participate. She has memories for a lifetime of great chess competition, wonderful companions, fun activities, and a beautiful campus. Thank you, Susan and TT, so much. What you have organized and worked for is a great gift.
