Chess news: Polgar: Excitement continues at Tech: Girls tournament, chess park unveiled -- Sixty qualifiers from 44 states are at Texas Tech to compete for the most prestigious all-girls national chess championship in the United States. Many of the chess players, their parents, siblings, and coaches arrived July 25. Volunteers welcomed players and their families to Lubbock and transported them to their dorm rooms on campus.

(There are 960 positions possible, hence the name.) Nakamura won the Chess960 Rapid World Championship, smashing the Armenian grandmaster Levon Aronian 3½-½ in the final.
