GM Soltis Lecture at Marshall CC on Tuesday

On Tuesday, August 27th, the Marshall Chess Club is honored to have grandmaster Andy Soltis—nine time Marshall CC champion, two time U.S. Open champion, and renowned author—joining us at 7pm for a lecture from his new book Tal, Petrosian, Spassky and Korchnoi: A Chess Multibiography with 207 Games.

This is one lecture you don't want to miss.

"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
