Region 3 Chess

This site will eventually hold all the links on the left side bar. Some sooner than later as many exist on other sites. Cox Communications is eliminating its hosting services effective December 6 and these page on members.cox.net/____ will cease to exist. Please link to the new site if you want to continue to use the inforamtion. Eventually I'll have a logo too and a better photo that won't set off paranoid people ;)

USCF Regional Clearinghouse of tournaments in Maryland, DC and Virginia

This will continue to be a storehouse of information for organizers, directors and players. There are often tournaments here that do not make it into Chess Life. Organizers can attempt not to conflict unneccesarily and players can find more tournaments to attend. Please e-mail me for submissions

The pages - when they appear in bold, they are live...

  • "How to Set Chess Clocks"  This site is a little dated in places but will be updated
  • Local player database...approaching 3,000 games, this collection features players from Region III. Useful to study for prospective opponents.
  • Tournament webpages - future tournaments with full webpages will be here
  • News from USCF, FIDE, Local, Regional plus an eventual blog style commentary
  • Chess Links
  • Photo Gallery  - A collection of tournament photos taken over the years
  • History of the New York Open. Some of the structure from this 1998 page is broken, but the pages for games, history, etc are really cool. NM Steve Mayer supplied some nice analysis of games and some of the photos (Tal!) are classics
