"And no matter what happened, he wanted the boys to go to Cookeville to compete
for the state championship and $96,000 in scholarships. More than anything, he
wanted Carlos and his Wooddale High teammates to win those scholarships. "
TN chess organizers must be doing something right to be able to hand out that
high an amount of scholarships. Might not be USCF rated chess but it appears to
be CHESS

< Yet some critics wonder if all this will rescue the USCF founded in 1939 "to
extend the role of chess in American society" (uschess.org). Despite nearly
100,000 members (mostly under age 20) the USCF teeters on the brink of
bankruptcy after decades of massive mismanagement. > -- GM Larry Evans in a
syndicated newspaper column on THE SCHOLASTIC BOOM
