This site is for the USCF Scholastic Council and
the scholastic chess community. Some of this information will be added to
the American Chess School Website as it becomes approved. Please visit our
sponsor's page at www.amchess.org for
information about chess camps, chess research, and the American Chess School.
With great sympathy, we extend our condolences to our dear friend, Alex
Dunne, who suffered the loss of his wife, Janet, and his grandson, Buddy, in a
fire that destroyed Alex's house on 16 February. Alex has been a valued part of
the American Chess School's events since 1980.
We mourn with Alex and offer him our love during this difficult time. You may
view a tribute
to Buddy created by Robert Ferguson. We also encourage you to make
a donation to the Alex Dunne Fund, a cooperative effort of CorrespondenceChess.com
and the Pennsylvania Chess
Federation.
