This tournament is intended to offer masters a chance to play against tough competition and young, improving players the chance to play against the tough competition they need to improve.
Texas' top-rated player, GM Yuri Shulman will be present on Sunday from 1:30 to 3:30 p.m. to help the non-masters analyze their games from rounds 1-4.
In round 1, the swiss system will be modified so that the highest-rated players play the non-masters. In rounds 4-5, the TD will slightly modify the pairings so that the non-masters will get to continue to play players rated over 2200, and no master will play more than one U2200 player (to the extent this can be done and not affect prizes).
USCF and FIDE rated, USCF and TCA (osa accepted) membership required.
