Out of respect and deepest sympathies for the innocent lives
taken in the recent terrorist attacks and out of concern for the safety of
travelers to our grand opening events, the World Chess Hall of Fame & Sidney
Samole Museum in Miami has postponed the special events scheduled in celebration
of its grand opening.
The Museum itself, however, will offer special Charter Member tours on October 4
and 5, ahead of schedule, for the convenience of those who continue to plan a
trip based on the initial agenda. The Museum will be open to the general public
on October 6, as previously announced. (Some displays may not be fully ready,
due to recent events.) We emphasize, however, that all ceremonies and tours will
be rescheduled for a future date, so that travel at this time is not necessary
and not recommended.
The planned festivities will be rescheduled. Currently, we are considering dates
in December. Please check our website, given below, for new dates for the Annual
Induction and Grand Opening Dinner, Sidney Samole Memorial Golf Tournament, VIP
tours and ribbon-cutting activities.
We regret the necessity of this postponement and the inconvenience it causes.
