The girls who qualify for the Susan Polgar Girls Invitational will receive intensive personal training from GM Susan Polgar over five days. 

• 6 round G/30 Championship tournament on the last 2 days.
• The traditional blitz, puzzle solving, bughouse events will stay the same as previous years.
• There will be many prizes awarded, including scholarships to Texas Tech University.

The SPNI was a very successful and popular scholastic event specifically geared toward young female players and I am so glad to see Texas Tech, SPICE and the Susan Polgar Foundation bring it back!  A heartfelt thank you to all involved in the Susan Polgar Girls Invitational.
