From I-74 take University Street Exit (91) South. Turn Right into the Bradley campus just after passing Main Street. Go straight through the 1st intersection. Turn Left into the Bradley Visitors parking area halfway down the block. The Student Center will be a half block beyond the parking lot and on Elmwood to your right. The Chess Tournament will be in the second building on your left.

From Downtown (or entering the city from the highways along the river), turn away from the river on Main Street. Travel up the hill and Turn Left on University Street. Turn Right immediately into the Bradley campus. Go straight through the 1st intersection. Turn Left into the Bradley Visitors parking area halfway down the block. The Student Center will be a half block beyond the parking lot and on Elmwood to your right. The Chess Tournament will be in the second building on your left.

Historical Note: The first Bradley Summer Open was played in this building 54 years ago in 1964. Winner that year was David Taylor, currently an over the board and correspondence master. Over the years since, many masters as well as most of Peoria's and Central Illinois' own top players have played in the BSO. Competition is keen, but it is a good way to improve your play by playing against stronger players. The average rating of the tournament winners is about 2200, however, there will also be prizes distributed by rating classes, so you will be competing against your own rating group for prizes while playing strong competition.
