        I neglected to mention: There will be a complimentary appetizer buffet
        served between rounds 4 and 5 - but no free beer :(

                  Late NEWS:

                  Due to the kindness of our principal sponsor, FIRST PRIZE is now increased to $500
                  Unfortunately, GM's Bareev and Sambuev have declined to play this time, but who knows if there may be other GM's within travel distance.
