Any 1-day event for Oct 8 which has "National Chess Day" in it's TLA title gets a free TLA 3. Any 2-3 day event held over a period which encompasses Oct 8, which has "National Chess Day" in it's TLA title, will get free TLA and free rating fees 4. Please note the June 10 deadline for organizers to submit their TLA for the August 2011 Chess Life Magazine.

Organizers will once again be encouraged to submit articles and photographs for possible publication for Chess Life Magazine and Chess Life Online.
