This camp began in 2004, with 10 players. The original instructors of the camp were IM Levon Altounian, IM Mark Ginsburg, and FM Robby Adamson.
The camp grew the following year and was a hit in 2005 and 2006 with GM Larry Christiansen as the head instructor. In 2006, we added one of the youngest Grandmasters ever, Alejandro Ramirez from Costa Rica, who currently attends University of Texas at Dallas.
In 2007 and 2008, GM Greg Kaidanov and GM Yuri Shulman were the featured instructors, along with IM Levon Altounian, FM Danny Rensch, FM Robby Adamson, and FM Ken Larsen.
In 2009, the camp welcomed top-40 in the world GM Alexander Onischuk. Significant effort is made into bringing in new instructors, and the best instructors are rotated from year to year. Visit our Instructors page for a complete list of camp instructors.
This camp is intense, but is also a lot of fun. The reviews by the students have all been outstanding.
