I think this is really big news and deserves to be publicized! From the Southwest Chess Club blog:
GM Alex Yermolinsky is coming to SWCC on February 11. Lecture 6:30, Simul 7:30-10:30.
$10/board. Simul is limited to 40 BOARDS. You must be a member of Southwest Chess Club to participate in the simul!
Two-time US Chess Champion, GM Yermolinsky recently tied for 1st in the North American Open in Las Vegas, December 2009. Alex Yermolinsky was born in the former Soviet Union. After leaving it he spent a short time in Italy before moving to the USA. Awarded the IM title in 1990 he became a GM in 1992. He has won the US Championship twice, in 1993 (shared with Alexander Shabalov) and in 1996. He's also played on the US Olympiad team. He has several books in print and works as a chemist for a pharmaceutical company in California.
Become a member of the Southwest Chess Club and play in the simul against a U.S. Chess Champion! Sorry - I couldn't find what annual membership costs at the SWCC website (help!) but I'm sure you can email Robin or Allen (see SWCC website for email addresses) and inquire, and I'm sure it's not an arm and a leg :)
