Full statement: new.uschess.org/news/us-chess-…

Announcement: The USA will not send an official delegation to the 2026 Pan-American Youth. Currently, the nation of Colombia is under a Level 3 travel advisory from the U.S. Department of State, so the US Chess Executive Board has decided not to authorize a delegation.

But if you want a full recap, @chessfeels annotated over 20 games from St. Louis over on Chess Life Online: new.uschess.org/news/so-and-le…

The @STLChessClub American Cup summed up in photo (courtesy of Austin Fuller):

MVP Chess is now a @USChess Silver Affiliate. So far, 27 players have joined US Chess to play their first rated tournament through MVP Chess. Our mission is simple: make rated chess accessible to everyone. That’s why our events are free.

I'm starting a Candidates Training match with @awonder676 in St Louis OTB today. @gmjlh and @fionchetta will have coverage at kick.com/gmhikaru starting in 30 minutes. Be there!! Also send energy 🍍🌻🍍

Alice Lee is the winner of the 2026 American Cup in Women’s section. Congratulations! 🎊🎉 #AmericanCup

Why upgrade your @USChess TD level? Because of limitations such as the following TDs should not be overseeing events with more than these player counts: Club - 60 players Local - 120 players Senior - 360 players Associate National & National - No maximum! new.uschess.org/tournament-dir…
