Chess Life Magazine

Welcome! As the national governing body for chess in the US, we welcome chess fans, instructors, competitors, and those wanting to learn more about the "Royal Game". With the recent passing of Bobby Fischer, we are hearing more from past members. We have special membership rates for both returning members from past years, as well as for new members. And we are working hard to support our highest-rated star - Brooklyn GM Gata Kamsky - as he prepares for his third attempt to become World Champion. He's reached the Final Four, and he's previously won matches against two of the three remaining players - each of whom has worn the crown already. Read more about his exciting opportunity, and find out how you may be able to join us in helping Gata bring the title home to the US again!
