Is there going to be a World Open for Girls & Boys in 2011. We are very disappinted that it is not at the Vegas Chess Festival, as we had planned our family vacation for that time. It will soon be too late for many families to make plans to bring their kids to an event this summer if the date & location are not announced. Many employers require that vacation time be scheduled at the start of the year.
Dear Susan Polgar,
How do I contact her and talk about chess school? I admire your work done there in the United States of America. Especially the Herculean and admirable work of his father!
After ten years of work, I developed an effective methodology for working with children (mostly) chess school and adolescents of both genders.
The methodology has been tested successfully, but not on a large scale. We will begin this year with a large number of students.
I think we could make a deal so you can do the same there (in US).
Please contact me through my e-mail:

From here of Brazil, I wish you prosperity,
Gileno Rodrigues do Amaral
