A 501c3 non-profit organization
It is a shame that we are having to stop all in-person chess as we were in full swing with Spring activities like national, state and local tournaments. We will continue to encourage people to play online until an all-clear signal of some type is given.
We are adding a section lower than the Reserve 1: U/1600. The new U/1000 section is currently online at ChessRegister.Com Prizes: 1st place: $100 / 2nd place: $75. Register now at ChessRegister.Com.

1/7/2020 Update: Enrollment is currently at 51% of capacity. This is ahead of last semester's pace. We will cap at 120. Classes start this Sunday!
US Chess' K-12 Grade Nationals was in Orlando this past weekend and 25 area players were there to compete against the best in the nation for each of the 13-grade levels. After seven rounds, our kids had 70.5 wins in 175 games for a 40% win ratio. Seven kids received awards and three placed within the Top 20 in their respective grade levels nationally. We are over the moon, to say the least!
We are not only excited for our kids and their families, but this also serves as validation of our Sunday Kidz Club Chess Development Program. This 120 kid program breaks students into one of 6 ability groups for kids from K to 12th grade. Players come from all over the North Florida area with some crossing the state line from Georgia to train with this area's best players.
Congrats to each player and we look forward to seeing them all return when our 2020 Winter semester begins on Sunday, January 12th. Check back as we will be opening registration for the new semester by the 1st of January.
Finally! We're booked and working out the finer details for the postponed JAX Open Championship event.

There are three sections, an increased prize fund and a reduced entry fee over the previous year. There is no scholastic section which means everyone is playing with the same time controls G/45;d5 for 5 rounds in a single day. Players can take up to two Byes (excused from playing a round).
Registration is now open at: Chesssregister.Com. Prices increase on the day of the tournament by $10.
