The CFC Regular Chess Post – February 10/13 – Jackie Peng to USA Girls’ Tournament.

The 10th Annual Susan Polgar Foundation Girl's Invitational from July 20-25, 2013 at Webster University, St. Louis, Missouri ( where Susan has her “ Susan Polgar Institute for Chess Excellence “ - SPICE ) is the most prestigious all-girls event in the US with over $200,000 in scholarships and prizes. This is an event for US girls only.

However, Ms. Polgar has gone out of her way to make an exception, and to invite Canadian WFM Jackie Peng to play. In 2012 Jackie became the second youngest player ever to play on the Canadian Women’s Olympiad team. Congratulations Jackie!
