Cleveland, Ohio. The public library there contains the most prolific collection of chess literature in the US.
Lone Pine, Ca
Louisville, Ky has documented, uninterrupted chess activity dating back to the 1870s
For the ancient-history department:
(Scranton-) Wilkes-Barre chess club in NE Pennsylvania, analyzed 4…Bc5!? in the Two Knight’s.
Halfway between there and NYC, Lake Hopatcong hosted Capa and Maroczy and Ed. Lasker—whom I played in January 1981 when he was 96!
Cncinnati, OH: Sam Loyd wrote for their Gazette, and they hosted the first forerunner of the US Open in 1888.
As for my hometown of Buffalo, NY, the best I can find are a mention that Pillsbury played here in 1894, and thisa history by John S. Hilbert. GM Jon Tisdall was born here, but am I the strongest player who’s ever resided here?
