NORTH AMERICAN YOUTH CHESS CHAMPIONSHIP, AUGUST 16-21, 2021 CHICAGO

Most of you know that for many years Weibel Chess Girls have attended the All-Girls Nationals in Chicago. As you also know our girls won a title every year they attended. Those that attended saw a well-organized tournament. This same group, The Renaissance Knights Chess Foundation, is working together in Chicago with a number of other groups including FIDE (The International Chess Federation) to hold the North American Youth Chess Championships from August 16-21, 2021. I urge all of our Team players to give serious thought to attend. No matter how you fair, and some of you will fair well, you will have an opportunity to participate in an international event of the highest caliber.

The organizers recognize the challenges presented by COVID-19 and are implementing precautionary measures to prevent and reduce the spread of COVID-19 among players and guest at the tournament. Details can be found on the event website.

NOTE: I still do not have any information about when and how Weibel Chess will reopen. Kwee Kuntjara, who heads the Weibel Chess Committee, will inform you as soon as they have some information.

Chess is Forever,
