LAS VEGAS INTERNATIONAL CHESS FESTIVAL

One big benefit of playing in these big chess tournaments is you meet many people from around the United States and in this particular tournament from around the world. Paul Bumblauskas is a good friend that I met three years ago in this same tournament he's from Georgia. Here we are sitting in at Tim Justs "TOURNAMENT DIRECTORS RULEBOOK TACTICS".

GM. Ron Henley had two lectures and also offered analysis of your games during the tournament. I missed none of these opportunities. I quickly realised that he has great skill to teach large groups of chess players and convey his ideas clearly.
