Chess Daily News from Susan Polgar
How come the USCF isn’t doing more to support military chess?
It does in some ways. It prints military TLAs without charge. It covers military chess events thru CLO and the magazine. But there are plenty more that can be done. The question is: what are you doing to support military chess?
I donated 20 chess sets for vets to the NJ state chess federation.
Thank you. I wish others would follow suit. Again, I appreciate your generosity.
