This weekend, there is the added bonus of an USCF-expert who was a professional chess coach on the east coast playing in the tournaments.

This is good for learning from the games and learning from the post game analyst. This is a great opportunity for individuals and schools teams to learn things that will give them and advantage over other individuals/schools.
