Congratulations to Mauricio, whose talent and hard wo...

Dear Texas Chess Players, I am honored to have once again been nominated to serve as TCA president. My belief is that the best thing for TCA is stability and focus. On a national level, the USCF is currently mired in lawsuits and a battle to determine control of the organization; in the end things m...
