      The Chess Academy is now the home of the Youth Chess Foundation of Chicago!

The Youth Chess Foundation of Chicago has been providing beautiful free monthly chess tournaments for CPS students for over 13 years!

The 2008-09 School Season is now over!

A final thank you to everyone who gave their time, energy and resources to us this year, serving in many capacities, including assistant TDs, organizers and supervisors. YCFC could not exist without your efforts!

In case you missed the announcement, The Chess Academy has opened a scholastic chess center, located at 4924 W. Addison. The Center will be open regularly on Saturday afternoons, and will also be the site of a summer chess camp. Congratulations to John!  The Center is both a great resource and opportunity for Chicago scholastic chess, and we hope as many of you as possible will be able to take advantage of its services.
