Another email cut and paste. Looks like a very nice event! For those of you who would prefer to simply play in the simul, that option is also available.
2 sessions available - Saturday Nov 12 or Sunday Nov 13
Enjoy
a 6 hour training session with one of the top Grandmasters in the
United States - GM Varuzhan Akobian! GM Akobian helped the US team
achieve a bronze medal twice in the 2006 and 2008 Chess Olympiads, and a
Silver medal in the 2009 World Team Championships. In 2010 GM Akobian
was tapped to become the trainer/coach for the US Men's Olympiad Team as
well.
You can join GM Akobian in a 6 hour marathon lecture covering
openings, middle game, and end-game. He will review popular opening
lines, the ideas behind them and how to transition to the middle game
along with middle game strategy, and what to do (and not to do) in the
end-game. You'll be invited to ask questions and discuss the pro's and
con's of variations, along with testing your inner-GM against this
battled hardened veteran with on the spot puzzles and challenges.
The session will begin at 11:30am and continue until 5:30pm. After a
30 minute break, GM Akobian will perform a simul. Feel free to bring
your personal chess boards if you want GM Akobian to autograph it for
you also! Snacks and beverages will be available.
This session is $75 for members of the North Shore Chess Center and
$100 for non-members if registered by Friday evening 9pm on Nov 11. Add
an additional $20 at the door. Onsite registrations cannot be guaranteed
for space!
Seating is limited to 30 people on a first registered basis.
