US Chess offices will be closed Monday, May 26 in observance of Memorial Day. All TLA and email blasts are reviewed by a staff member before approval, so we kindly ask affiliates to make any time-sensitive submissions by noon CDT on Friday, May 23.

US Chess is excited to share the Guide to a Successful Chess Club, a comprehensive resource designed to support anyone looking to start, grow, or strengthen a chess club. Whether you're building a club from the ground up, reviving one that’s struggling, or looking to enhance a thriving community, this guide offers practical insight and direction every step of the way. Created by the US Chess Clubs Committee as an updated version of the original 1998 booklet, this new edition is a living document—meant to evolve alongside the game, our ideas, and the technology that connects us. We extend our sincere thanks to the US Chess board members, volunteers, and staff whose dedication, experience, and vision made this project possible. https://new.uschess.org/guide-successful-chess-club #chess #chessclub #uschess #chesslife #chesscommunity #chessforall #growthegame #makeyourmove (fb)
