All three colours can be seen in
this sloppy graphic.
An artist I'm not.
Except on the chess board.
Like Kramnik.
But I'm better looking.

February 4th change in venue
We've decided to change locations, to the Windsor Hilton.
Caesars is new, and very luxurious. But it is basically an adult facility, and many parts of the building are not for minors. Not just the casino and the bars, but the gift shop, the pool, the fitness center, and even Starbucks.
So, we decided to switch to the Hilton. Reservation info on the travel page.
The room prices are a little lower than Caesars, espcially because the chess rate is about $30 cheaper than the usual rate., they have a very nice pool, and a beautiful view of the waterfront. The clincher was that the Hilton offered their Riverfront Club as a waiting room for the parents. Check out the
Riverfront Club.
We've got great news... the Windsor Tourist Bureau will give a free chess kit (as they call it) to visitors from out of town - check out the details on the chess bag page.
The organizers include John Coleman, Karen Demers, Dan Passador, Frank Lee, Jill Kanwischer, Linda Deforest, Robert Bierer, Alan Baljeu, Vladimir Drkulec, and Carol Myers. This is the same group, or gang, who organise the Windsor Chess Challenge every year.
These pages will be updated frequently as we firm up details, so check back often.
