About The Event
BIG NEWS! Grandmaster Sam Khanin, winner of the 2025 Chicago Open, will be present at this Scholastic Sunday to analyze games with kids in the skittles room (i.e., cafeteria) between rounds!
Kids who have learned how the pieces move and some basic strategy are welcome to enter the world of rated chess tournaments! All school-aged kids from kindergarten to 12th grade are welcome. Walk-ins are discouraged, as we would appreciate all registering online in advance. The chess playing room is a silent atmosphere to enable maximum concentration.
For the "rated" tournament, all players MUST be members of the US Chess Federation ($24/year). Before registering for the rated event, become a member of USCF here (you will need to write down your child's USCF ID#). However, being a member of Indy Chess--our local club--at $50/year/student or $75/year/family is optional. If interested, you can do that here to get a $5 discount…
