The New England Masters 2008 is a 9 round FIDE rated chess tournament that will be held at the Blackstone Chess Academy, Pawtucket (near Providence), Rhode Island, USA, from August 11-15, 2008.

The tournament will offer good GM and IM norm opportunities but will only be open to the first 50 players that confirm their entries.  There are already 5 Grandmasters participating in the event!

The event is the third in a series of Masters events following in the footsteps of the successful Las Vegas Masters 2006 and New England Masters 2007.

This year's event will be part of the Blackstone Chess Festival.  The New England Masters will be followed by the Blackstone Open that will be held on the weekend of August 16-17.  All GM's and IM's will receive a free entry into this tournament and other New England Masters participants will be given a reduced entry fee to extend their stay to participate in this event.
