45 YEARS “SAYING YES TO CHESS”

October 2012

Dear Chess Supporter,

Your donations are vital to help the U.S. Chess Trust aid American chess.

The U.S. Chess Trust Co-Sponsored (with UTD) the Second Koltanowski Conference on Chess and Education

The Trust was proud to be the co-sponsor with the University of Texas at Dallas of the Second Koltanowski Conference on Chess and Education held in Dallas, Texas, at the K-12 Championship November 18-19, 2011. Organized by Trust VP for Chess in Education Tim Redman, the conference brought teachers and others together from all parts of the country and included speakers from abroad.

We were glad to participate in the opening and closing ceremonies of the Arnold Denker Tournament of High School Champions and the second Dewain Barber Tournament of K-8th Grade Champions in Vancouver, Washington in August. The Trust is pleased to support the Denker and Barber and we expect to support the Girls Invitational Tournament which will take place with the Denker and Barber next year in Madison, Wisconsin, during the US Open.

Find out more about the Denker Tournament of High School Champions and the 2012 Dewain Barber Tournament of K-8 Champions.

The Trust continues its traditional support for American players in the World Youth Championship, the Collegiate Final Four, the World Junior, and the U.S. Blind Championship.

The Trust donates $7,500 in scholarships divided among five students, based on academics and chess, with the aid of the National Scholastic Chess Foundation.
