Interview with Varuzhan Akobian:

Recently featured on MTV's "I'm a Genius!" and starting his own designer apparel line "Endgame" Akobian is keeping himself busy on and off the board. An exciting player we wish him the best as he seeks to redefine public opinion of professional chess players.

We are pleased to announce the following chess luminaries have accepted their invitation to compete in the 2009 U.S. Championship and will be in Saint Louis this May. Check back often for updates!
