Best time to come to Chicago is in the Fall. Now is perfect.
This will probably be one of the most exciting tournament next weekend in Chicago for young players who wants a real cerebral challenge in the k-12 section.
More nation’s top juniors should come and play. The list is long but not impressive rating-wise.
I think more top juniors will start participating in this tournament by next year. Sometime it takes one to join and others will follow. Ratings don’t always dictate the presumptive outcome and that’s what make chess exciting.
