Grandmasters Irina Krush and Maxim Dlugy will be providing analysis and commentary.

The club will close early on Friday, April 1st, to set up for the tournament.

All other club events (Saturday junior class, weekend tournaments) will be canceled that weekend.

Additionally, there will be no space for private lessons or casual play.

"My study of chess was accompanied by a strong attraction to music, and it was probably thanks to this that from childhood I became accustomed to thinking of chess as an art, and have never regarded it as anything else, for all the science and sport involved in it. And, moreover, an art which in some ways is closer to music than it is customary to think. Perhaps chess and music are drawn together by laws of harmony and beauty which are difficult to formulate and difficult to grasp, or perhaps by something else." - Vasily Smyslov
