The 2010 SP Girl's Invitational will officially take place tomorrow on the beautiful campus of Texas Tech University. I have been picking up players and their families from the airport since early this morning. The last one for the day will arrive at around 11:30 pm. The rest will arrive tomorrow morning.
This is the 7th year of the most prestigious all-girls event in the United States. This year, nearly 45 participants from across the country are taking part in this very special event. It will be a memorable week for girl's chess in America.
