Various studies regarding chess discuss how chess expands the cognitive ability of children. We will also promote excellence in chess through various programs and events . The most notable event will be the US Chess Championships each year, in which the top men and women players from the US will compete for the honor of becoming the US Chess Champion. We believe that this event will inspire young people to pursue chess and the active development of their minds. We will encourage and promote chess for every child .
Chess is accessible to all people regardless of age, gender, race or physical ability.
Specifically, we will focus on encouraging young women and minorities to fully participate in this activity. We intend to develop specific programs and opportunities to attract these groups. The SCF intends to be a catalyst to build a chess center in Seattle . This facility will be a focal point for chess. We intend to provide first-class instruction for teachers on how to teach chess, a good venue for instruction, competitive play for our youth and a gathering place for the chess community in general.
