After consulting with board members of the Susan Polgar Foundation and members of former USCF Polgar Committee, we have decided to improve the format of the Susan Polgar National Invitational for Girls. The event with the new format will take place on July 25-30 at Texas Tech University in Lubbock, Texas. Information about the Susan Polgar Girl’s Invitational can be found here: https://chessdailynews.com/the-all-new-susan-polgar-girls-invitational/. Full regulations will be published shortly.
It’s Saturday Open Forum. The forum is yours. What would you like to discuss?
Thank you for fighting for the best interest of the girls.

Dear Susan,
I have been playing chess since 1972. I love this game.
And I admire greatly your work for the betterment of chess. Ingratitude is rampant in the USCF, and corruption seems to be the cause…
I just want you to know that I and many other chess lovers hold you and your work in high regard.
May you achieve success in all your endeavors!

I always support you 100% Susan. I hope the USCF drops dead and a new federation without all the problems will arise from the ashes.
I will continue to look for you to become President of the Chess Federation of the USA. Chess really needs your leadership.
And always remember. You have tremendous support among real chess players.
