As in all previous SPICE Invitational events (SPICE Cup and SPICE Spring Invitational), we do not charge entry fees. The main idea is to give deserving players, especially young American players, a chance to earn IM and GM norms.
This event is sponsored by the Susan Polgar Foundation, Texas Tech University, SPICE, and the Knight Raiders, etc.
Wow, many young talented kids.
