<GMs So & Shulman Join Field at Northern California International By Arun Sharma
December 8, 2011

The Northern California International is shaping up to be one of the strongest tournaments recently held in the US. The field will include ten GMs, three of whom are rated at least 2650, along with eighteen IMs, so the competition should be extremely fierce.
The event should also be somewhat unique for having a much larger overall percentage of high rated players than the vast majority of US events. With about half the field rated at least 2350 FIDE, heavyweight clashes should start early on. This will also ensure the event has a much higher average rating than most tournaments which should make norm opportunities plentiful for those pursuing them, and with the event now also having twenty one players of non-US Federation, it has reached the "Super Swiss" status.
This will completely relieve the usual requirement that so often plagues players in US events of needing to play at least four foreigners in nine rounds to be eligible for a norm. There is still time to sign up if you would like to take part in the event. Anyone interested should contact organizers Arun Sharma and Ted Castro. Spending New Year's in the San Francisco area should also make for a great experience along with the tournament. But we are less than a one month away so plan soon if you would like to play.
