Chess.com At National Open in Las Vegas (June 4-7)
Several of the Chess.com staff will be at the National Open Chess Tournament in Las Vegas this weekend (June 4-7)! There will be 3 of us there: me (Erik), Jay, and IM David Pruess. If you see one of us come say "HI!". We'd love to meet you. And if you are a premium member, you might just get a free T-Shirt :D
IM Pruess and Jay are playing in the main event. I will be playing in one or more of the blitz events. Looking forward to it!
See you there! => http://www.vegaschessfestival.com/

Yes, I am the guy who started Chess.com (along with Jay, Igor, Piotr, and many others). I have 3 amazing daughters, one wild son, and a wonderful, patient wife! I learned chess when I was 8 years old. Since then I have been playing, studying, and enjoying it regularly. I prefer semi-open and closed positions that blow up tactically (like the Closed Sicilian, King's Indian, Glek etc).
