Coming off the historic HB Global Chess Challenge, GM Maurice Ashley has raised the bar on international open tournaments.

Ashley describes the event and analyzes several games in his article with his trademark enthusiasm. In addition, there was a very interesting interview with Brian Molohon, Executive Director of the foundation. Grab your copy today!
