The newly combined entity, now named the United States of America Chess Federation (and currently known as US Chess), primarily promoted tournament play throughout the country. More importantly, the U.S. Chess Championship, the U.S. Open, and the U.S. Olympiad team now fell under a single organizational roof and served about 1,000 members. There have been many important milestones since 1939 as US Chess grew and evolved. Bobby Fischer’s quest for the World Championship in the 1960s and 1970s, the growth of scholastic chess, the broadening of the US Chess mission beyond the organization’s singular focus of rated play, and most recently, Fabiano Caruana’s challenge to Magnus Carlsen for the World Championship. Along the way, US Chess has learned much about itself and what a powerful tool chess is. As we Second, we accept chess as a tool for the social and now look towards the century mark and approach emotional development of young people. Chess is 100,000 members, we embrace our heritage while a game where sportsmanship is core to the game’s looking for new ways to excel. As a 501(c)(3) culture.

The results of the recent Tata Steel Tournament have proved me wrong; they both did very well. I take this opportunity to congratulate Jorden with his resounding success which will be a big boost for Dutch chess. Van Foreest came to Wijk aan Zee extremely well prepared. A good example is his last-round game against Nils Grandelius when he was in a must-win situation. We have the game with his own comments, in the Survey by René Olthof. Another sensation in Wijk aan Zee was Andrey Esipenko’s victory over Magnus Carlsen. In fact this was just another example of how important deep opening preparation is these days. Esipenko was probably winning as early as move 14; a rare case where the World Champion was totally outprepared. The Survey is by Krisztian Szabo. We also feature a sensation from the end of last year: Daniil Dubov’s last-round victory over Sergey Karjakin in the Russian Championship. Everyone admired Dubov’s queen sacrifice, but it was his provocative opening play with white that preceded the brilliant final.
