The United States regularly boasts some of the
top young talents in the World, yet somewhere along the way most of
them either drop out of chess or fail to improve. Much of this lack of
improvement can be attributed to the lack of support, training and
guidance these young chessplayers are given. The USCS is hoping to
change that, with a high level of chess training programs devoted to
developing the strongest young players in the country.
Eight to Twelve young players will receive 5 days of free
training per
session with one of the top Grandmasters in the country. The only major
expense the students will need to pay is the airfare and possibly
lodging depending on the location. The training however is completely
free of charge. The goals of this program are
as follows:
1. Train our young players to their fullest potential
2. Create strong bonds of friendship between the top young American
players
3. Provide the players with a mentor whom they can turn to for advice
at any time
4. Instill the kind of work ethic that is necessary to becoming a top
player.
5. Cultivate as many new American GM's as possible
6. Help to develop talent to lead our future Olympiad Teams
