2026 Wyoming Community Foundation Open

This is a Save the Date announcement for the 5th Annual Sheridan, Wyoming Chess Tournament. In 2025, we were honored to have GMs Alex Fishbein, Fidel Corrales Jimenez, and Luka Budisalvljevic in addition to seven other titled players and state champions from three states.

The 2026 tournament promises to be bigger and better than ever. Save the date. Registration details coming soon.

This is a marque chess tournament heralded as one of the best run tournaments in the United States.

I felt extremely welcomed during my visit to Sheridan, Wyoming. When I arrived, I saw advertisements for the tournament all around town, which was very exciting. The organizers were extremely hospitable and took great care of every player. You could feel the love and the passion for chess in the organizers’ attention to detail
and care throughout the entire event.

I am excited to go back to Sheridan next year, and I’m very glad that I am able to participate in the love that Wyoming residents have for the game.

This is certainly a tournament that every chess player should participate in.

Come for the chess - bring the family for a vacation - visit Yellowstone, Devils Tower, and Battle of the Little Big Horn. Fly fish in the Big Horn Mountains.

It is my great pleasure to report that this rebirth of high–level chess in Wyoming was a resounding success, and I am glad to have played a part. It could only have happened thanks to tireless work by the Sheridan Chess Association organizing team and the directing team.
