Chess Foundation
More than 100 students from 25 schools teamed up with nearly 30 Chicago police officers to compete in the Cops & Kids Invitational Chess Tournament as part of the Cops & Kids program designed to improve chess skills and boost positive relationships between youth and
law enforcement.
As we prepare to host for the first time the Mid-West Regional All-Girls Championship, advance registrations have reach 40 players. If you are interested in playing in the tournament, its not to late. Details & Registrations
We have transitioned to a new registration system for all our classes, tournaments, and events. The first time you register you will need to create a new account, or as Jumbula calls it – a new family.
This system has a lot of advantages over our old system including being able to see the advance entries for the tournaments, and the ability to look up USCF ID number and expiration date during the registration process.
After the phenomenal growth of chess in Chicago Public School and the success of our innovative Cops & Kids Chess program, we are in need of results-driven Chess Teachers to join our team for the upcoming school year.
Great news coverage (ABC, NBC, CBS & more) for our epic end of year event for our Cops & Kids Chess program that helps Chicago police officers and students connect, respect, & protect our communities. CPD Supt Johnson and CPS Chief Education Officer McDade were in attendance, Robin Robinson MC’d the event.
Please consider Donating today to expand the program additional schools/students.
