2023 US Chess Federation All-America Chess Team Announced

The United States Chess Federation is pleased to announce the 2023 All-America Chess Team. Team members will receive team jackets and plaques by mail.

The All-America Chess Team was created in 1987 to honor the very best players ages 18 and under. The team, one of the highest national honors attainable by a young chess player, is selected on the basis of age, rating, and chess activity during that year, similar to the selection process of “all conference” sports teams. This year’s candidates were selected based on their age as of January 1, 2023, and their peak post-tournament rating from July 1, 2021 through June 30, 2022. Since this award is a “post-season” selection, the minimum rating limits in each age group are reviewed annually by US Chess staff and the US Chess Scholastic Council.

The United States Chess Federation wishes to congratulate each of the 40 members of this year’s All-America Chess Team for receiving this outstanding award!
