GM Josh Friedel at Polishfest!

Wow! Fantastic news! Southwest Chess Club (the "it" chess club in southeastern Wisconsin, JanXena says so) is sponsoring a booth at Polish Fest at the Summerfest Grounds on the beautiful shores of Lake Michigan, June 19 - 21, 2009. GM Josh Friedel will be at Polish Fest Saturday night - June 20, 2009. Come to the booth and play GM Friedel for only $2. Don't miss this opportunity!! GM Friedel is one of our newest American GMs - American chess has been on a tear lately, producing GM Larry Kaufman (in 2008), GM Jesse Krai (2007), GM Josh Friedel (in 2008) and GM-elect Robert Hess (in 2009) over the past couple of years. GM Friedel earned his final GM norm at the 2007 Foxwoods Open, and was the first American player to earn a GM title in 10 years! Jesse, methinks you started something here... Goddess, I'm really tempted to visit and stand in line, paying $2.00 just to get my butt handed to me in six moves - but maybe I can last 19 or even 20, hmmm... SATURDAY NIGHT! What does that mean? What TIME Saturday Night? Guys, come on, this is very important to us femmes. We have to know how long we have to get ready and then get down there and then stand in line looking gorgeous - and if it's raining or something we have to bring along all our weatherproof armor (ironclad hairspray, for instance). That sort of stuff slows a femme down, so someone be a dear and post when the GM is going to be at the Southwest Chess Club booth! Hooray for GM Josh Friedel! Hooray for Southwest Chess Club! Please visit the Southwest Chess Club chess booth at Polish Fest at the Summerfest grounds this weekend.
