US Chess has a new champion, and it is WGM Anjelina Belakovskaia. She won the inaugural U.S. Senior Women’s Championship with a score of 4½/5. Winning the tournament did not come without its share of drama, as a heart-stopping final round provided all the excitement one would expect from a national championship.
US Chess is pleased to launch the 2023-2024 program that supports affiliates who bring chess to students attending Title I schools. This program is made possible by generous donors who are committed to help us bring chess to underserved students.
“It is my wish and desire that the United States Chess Federation use this gift to establish a fund in my name and that the income generated therefrom be used for the furtherance of the chess capabilities of chess players from 18 through 21 years of age.” – Dr. Herbert B. Jacklyn
