My latest chess promotional trip landed me in Cumberland (MD) today. It is a quaint little city right near West Virginia.
This was the announcement from the newspaper and a full article about my visit will appear soon:
From Staff Reports
Chess champ in city today
CUMBERLAND — Susan Polgar, the only world champion in history to win the Triple Crown in chess, will be in Cumberland today.
Currently ranked No. 1 in the United States, Polgar will sign autographs and meet with the public at the Downtown Cumberland Armory Centre, 210 S. Centre St., at 1:30 p.m. Prior to that, she’ll meet privately with a group of chess enthusiasts at the Holiday Inn.
I am very impressed with the enthusiasm of the local residents about chess and I expect many good things to happen in the future.
That is awesome. When are you coming to Chicago or Milwaukee?
I was just in Chicago for 10 days during the US Open.
Best wishes,
Susan Polgar

Susan,
I would like to thank you and Paul for coming to Cumberland. I appreciated your sincerity and transparency for the culture of the chess world. You both shared so much I will be digesting it all for weeks. I hope your boys liked the single use cameras. Thanks again and I hope to see you both soon.
Thank you,
Wade Clark
