The Invitational was created by founder and director of the
Charlotte Chess Center, NM Peter Giannatos. Giannatos says that "As opposed to
our usual state open events, the Invitational will reward the students who have
devoted huge amounts of time and energy to chess. Once a year, I plan on
pampering them like professional players."
Charlotte Chess Center GM-in-Residence, GM Ben Finegold as
well as NM Peter Giannatos will be doing live commentary during the event.
