10/10/2014 – Maurice Ashley and Amy Lee want more people to enjoy chess and benefit from it. Thus they organised an open tournament boasting of a record prize-fund of one million USD. More than 500 players paid a fee of 1.000 USD to take part. They play seven rounds Swiss, the first four qualify for a knock-out - and if you win that you will win 100.000 USD.
