IM-elect Yaacov Norowitz, who won the Kenilworth Chess Club Championship in 2009 and was the club's 1992-1993 U-1800 Champion, has been invited to the 2013 US Championship! I predicted this would happen. Actually, my prediction was that Yaacov would be the first player without an international title to win the US Championship, but after his recent performance in Reykjavik that is no longer possible. I am sure all members of our club offer Yaacov congratulations and you can be sure I will be following the Championship very closely this year -- with daily updates.

It was not possible before that, either, since Bobby Fischer had no international title when he won the US Championship in 1957. But, it's very cool that Norowitz is in the tournament. Go get 'em!
