I am extremely excited to announce that GM Georg Meier will be attending the 2012 Southern Rocky FIDE Open & U.S. G/15 Championship! GM Meier is rated 2648 FIDE and 2763 USCF. He is ranked #89 in the world, #3 in Germany, and now plays for Susan Polgar's Texas Tech Red Raider chess team.
It looks as though this year's event will be even stronger than last year with 3 GMs already entered!
See you there,
Chad
Update: GM Georg Meier is currently playing in the European Team Chess Championship as 1st/2nd board for Germany.
