This site is primarily dedicated to the promotion of chess events and chess knowledge within the military community (active duty, veterans and retired members). Our secondary aim is to offer our modest contribution in the dissemination of chess knowledge to the public at-large, and especially to scholastic players. We accord the warmest welcome to friends of the military.

We are pleased to announce to the public that USMilitaryChess.org is now a legal entity. This is the official site for the organization. The site disclaims any relationship to any person or party unless such relationship is specified herein or by its appointed officers.

The website or any person representing USMilitaryChess.org is not authorized to accept any donation in cash or in kind on behalf of the military since we are a private organization. We, however, solicit donations in cash or in kind from interested sponsors for the annual Armed Forces Open. Links to our commercial sponsors are posted on this website.

We are not affiliated with the US Military in any sense nor do we claim any rights of representation for the military in general or for any military service in particular.

Articles and other chess resources can be downloaded from our site free of charge. If you find the resources and articles beneficial toward your chess improvement, please donate $1 or buy your chess books and equipment from any of our sponsors to fund continuing efforts.
