Are you in the Lobby? Great!
Take the Lobby Elevators to Floor 3
Sorry I do not have any elevator hacks…IFYKYK

This will take you to the following:

Keep reading, more useful information

PATH 2

Are you in the Lobby? Great!
Looking for Red Rock and the Youth Tournaments? See the Starbucks? Great!
Keep Walking…PASS the UP Escalators towards the DOWN Escalators (Executive Conference Center)

NOTE: Taking the UP Escalators will also take you to the Third Floor, and easy access the these rooms…it takes you directly to Carson City, per map above

These will take you down to Red Rock, and the assorted rooms!

PATH 3 and beyond:
Well…there very well could be a another way, but this should be enough aid you I believe. Onward!

Hope this helps!

Each year we invite a player who is or was famous as a child star to host the International Youth Championship. This year our guest host, Dewain Barber, has done so much for scholastic chess that the US Chess federation named him the Dean of Scholastic Chess.

He has taught the game to thousands of kids and organized and promoted numerous events. He actively promotes the US Chess Invitational Tournaments for State Champions and sponsors the Barber Tournament of Middles School Champions.

He is co-author of the book Humor In Chess and will be available to autograph copies on Saturday at 3:00 p.m. Proceeds from copies sold at this event will be donated to chess scholarships.

Mr. Barber is a world class promoter of youth chess but, alas, he is not a great player. WGM Tatev Abrahamyan will be giving the Simul For Kids at 7:00 p.m. Saturday on his behalf. Perhaps we can even persuade Mr. Barber to take a seat.

Past hosts have included Woman Grandmaster Jennifer Shahade, Woman Grandmaster Sabina Foisor, Grandmaster Kayden Troff, Grandmaster Irina Krush, Grandmaster Daniel Naroditsky, Woman Grandmaster Annie Wang, Grandmaster Ruifeng Li, and Former World Champion Grandmaster Anatoly Karpov.

This is a great opportunity for young players to meet their chess heroes.
