              The Buffalo international Chess Championship usually takes place in the month of June and am waiting for the tournament announcement. Here was last year's tournament'details: http://buffalochess.blogspot.ca/2013...nal-chess.html. AFAIK, IM Kenneth Regan dominated the field. I wish and bet for FM Razvan!
