USVI Chess Federation
(and the USVI Chess Association, now combined)
Empowering Chess Players Young and Old
We've been through a lot over the last year and the setbacks have been discouraging. But view the video below as a reminder of just some of the things we've accomplished despite the many obstacles we endured. Although our special election of new officers was confirmed as legal, we patiently wait for official recognition by both the VIOC and FIDE. Margaret Murphy has now dragged us into court by filing a baseless lawsuit, the only result of which will be more years of turmoil, frustration, and divisiveness. This may be confusing and frustrating to our members but be assured that your membership is valid, and your voting rights remain secure. Please connect to our Events page to catch up on our latest tournaments, our Clubs page to see our current activities, and link to our History page for details of the ongoing drama.
Keep the faith!
