If you have ever played through the games of grandmasters, you have probably encountered moves that you just simply cannot understand. "Why did he play that?" you question.

Here is a unique opportunity to witness a world class match and also have every move explained to you straight from the GM player. On February 26th at the Millennium Chess Festival at Virginia Beach, GM Hikaru Nakamura and GM Susan Polgar will face off in a one-of-a-kind exhibition.

From separate rooms packed with eager audiences, each GM will play his/her move and subsequently explain the entire thought process behind it. The move is relayed to the opposing player by radio and every single move provides a window into the minds of two of the world's greatest players.

So if you are tired of playing through games without grandmaster commentary, I suggest you take a trip to Virginia. This is sure to be a great event for all participants. Please find details on www.uschess.org and www.geocities.com/millenniumchessfestival.
