    Special Rapid - March 21
    Once again, Grandmaster Evgeny Bareev will be on hand to inflict lessons on our leading rapid players - Saturday, March 21. Please note the special features of the event:
    *Prior to Round 1, Grandmaster Bareev will show a few positions of interest on a demo board.
    Chessplayers interested in joining GM Bareev for coaching/lessons will get a preview of his presentation style.
    *There will be a complimentary appetizer buffet served after Round 4.
    * Pairings will be by computer thanks to Chess&Math instructor Yury Mamyshev.
    *Increased expenses and Prize guarantees makes necessary an entry fee increase to $40 (includes a $5 drink voucher).
    This is also as an alternative to an arbitrary cut-off at 44 entries due to space limitations.
    Hopefully this will result in a manageable number of about 25 entries.
    First Prize is guaranteed at $300, Other prizes, including per ratings depend on entries.
    *Please register your intent to play several days in advance so we can arrange enough chess sets and clocks.

    I have had some indication that the increased entry fee will not deter most players from signing up for this outstanding event. Therefore we could be on track to exceed our maximum available table space - which is 22 tables - thus 44 entries.
    In order to ensure your entry, please register as soon as possible - preferably by mid-week, either by email, phone (no texting), or posting here on ChessTalk.
    The pre-reg list will be posted soon.

                      Impossible to tell how many players are planning to arrive unannounced - so if you're coming late bring a clock or else bring money to buy one at Strategy Games just around the corner - 701 Mt Pleasant.
