US Chess Championship 2010: LINKS

Well, I thought I would try to assemble as nice a group of links as possible for the US Chess Championship.

US Chess Championship Chessgames.com

This site has forums and lots o Chess games that you can look through on a very user friendly and nice looking Java Chess board.

US Chess Federation

The US Chess Federation has a lot of information regarding US Chess. They run Official chess tournaments in the US, and you can become a member and play in these.

The Official Site, St. Louis Chess Club

Apparently, the St. Louis Chess Club is sponsoring this whole thing. They have a really great looking chess site that I just stumbled on last night, which is what inspired this post actually.

Make sure to check out the Video Lectures and other Video type things they have on this site, as that is a great resource of free chess educational material (and pretty entertaining for the Finegold one I watched on Nakamura's Kings Indian games).


Well, unfortunately that seems to be about it as far as good stuff goes. A lot of various chess blogs helpfully list the players and give little news blurbs, but that is not really worth copying links too.

Chessdom.com looks like it may have some interesting material, but it looks a bit light on the US Chess Championship. Can't especially blame them, as Internationally the US Chess Championship is not all that big a deal. I believe this years' tournament was one of the stronger overall US Chess Championship, though, and hopefully some of the Young American players continue improving.
