At 10:00 a.m. 11-year old Claudia Munoz will be facing 18-year old Julia Jones (1896) on board 7 of the final round of the SPNI 2009. For Julia Jones this will be her last game as a high school student before she heads off to the University of Texas Brownsville on a chess scholarship. In the past seven days, Claudia has faced numerous chess players who are tops in the nation in their categories, yet after being seeded #29 in the initial standings, she has survived entering the final round with two wins, two draws and only one loss. The majority of her opponents were rated on an average of 300-points.
Although she will not be winning the Susan Polgar Invitational Trophy, at her age she has seven more years to reach that goal.
