The Eastern Class Championship will take place in Sturbridge, Massachusetts, from Friday, February 29 to Sunday, March 2, 2008.  This annual tournament, arranged by Bill Goichberg’s Continental Chess Association, allows players to face players in their approximate rating range, especially since players can only play “up” one category.  Last year’s event saw the Blitz’s own Jorge Sammour-Hasbun tie for first place in the Master Section.
