USCF Scholastic Council—Home

Welcome to the Home Page of the USCF Scholastic Council

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.
