We understand that some of the checks issued to prize winners had a misprint that is preventing the banks from cashing them. We are sorry for this inconvenience, if you are impacted by this, please contact us at contact@vegaschessfestival.com so that we may get your hard earned winnings to you ASAP. UPDATE AS OF 6/30, most of the checks have been mailed out, with the remainder scheduled to go out this weekend. As a reminder, if you received a check that has this mistake, you need to let us know or else we assume you received one of the checks that was fine.
