And don't forget the superstar simuls! You can also sign up for Women's World Champion Alexandra Kosteniuk's simul on August 5th and the U.S. Champion Hikaru Nakamura's August 7th simul. Read Jerry Hanken's preview for more details on the Kosteniuk simul, and read about Nakamura's simul here. Five spots into the 2010 U.S. Championship (Spring, 2010, Saint Louis ) are at stake in the U.S. Open for the top five U.S. finishers. Important Note: if any of these is qualified on rating or from another event, qualification will not move down (the 6th US player will not qualify).
