Presenting the NY Metro Area’s very own Championship in the Grade format!

💐 A Mother’s Day celebration in New York City.

👩‍👧‍👦 Calling all chess kids and chess moms. You asked for more formal hotel events, and we heard you loud and clear.
🏆 Mother’s Day weekend (May 9-10, 2026), the region’s most dedicated young players will gather in Times Square once again – this time to crown NYC Champions in every grade from K-12, while celebrating the mothers who made their journeys possible.
Official Chess is proud to announce the inaugural New York Metro Area Scholastic Chess Grade Championships.
This is a 2-Day tournament with 4 rounds on Saturday and 2 rounds Sunday.
A maximum of two half point byes are allowed.
Players may choose to use both byes for both Sunday rounds and receive 0.5 points for each of the games, however this must be declared when registering or before the start of Round 1 with the on-site customer service desk (aka Chess Control). Once you declare half-point byes for Sunday, it cannot be changed.
💖 Honoring Chess Mothers
This is meant to be more than a chess championship where only the kids showcase their hard work and dedication. It is also a celebration of chess mothers, and a recognition of the immense sacrifices they make in support of their children’s passions.
✈️ From dragging suitcases on planes, trains and automobiles across the country to early morning subway rides across the City 🚇
🙉 From searching for quiet corners inside crowded school auditoriums to take important weekend work calls 📞
🧘to sitting patiently for hours on uncomfortable hallway floors just so they can immediately give that reassuring hug or kiss away a tear in case of a tough loss 🤗;
😇 Moms put everyone else first 💖 – often balancing careers, managing households, making sandwiches, ensuring their children never fall behind in school, AND enabling Chess dreams!📚✨.

💎First-Class Championship Experience
Mother’s Day is about family, togetherness, and giving thanks to the heroes who make everything possible.
🌷 We are committed to creating an event that properly honors chess moms
🎁 From Mother’s Day gifts, experiences, brunches 🥂, and special surprises – this will be an unforgettable Mother’s Day weekend.
👑 Our goal is to give chess moms the recognition they deserve, while giving our children a high end championship experience inside one of the most extraordinary venues in New York City.
👜 And of course, we hope all the dads will be there too, proudly carrying the chess bags and doing their part … for once (only kidding, mostly!).

💐 We hope your family will join us for what promises to be a meaningful, memorable, and inspiring Mother’s Day weekend and the beginning of a lasting new tradition in New York City chess.

Official Chess reserves the right to refuse entry or revoke any registration at its sole discretion, or in accordance to rules and regulations set forth by US Chess including, but not limited to, adherence to the US Chess Safe Play Policies and Sanction List. https://new.uschess.org/sites/default/files/media/documents/us-chess-safe-play-guidelines.pdf https://new.uschess.org/sites/default/files/media/documents/sanctionedmembers_10202025.pdf

Tie Break Methods:
1) Modified Median – Total points scored by your opponents (half-points for early withdrawals), and disregards the least-significant (usually the lowest scoring) opponent. The player with the highest total has played opponents with the best scores in the tournament‑‑ in theory, the hardest opponents.
2) Solkoff – Total points scored by your opponents (half-points for early withdrawals), including the lowest scoring opponents
3) Cumulative – Sum of your total points after each round (each rounds score is added to the previous rounds which means players who won in earlier rounds score higher than those won in later rounds)
4) Opponents Cumulative – Same as above except this method is based on your opponents’ score (not applicable for Team tie breaks)
5) Coin flip

Coach’s Corner Masters (subject to change at any time)*:

Jon Edwards, Current Correspondence Chess World Champion and Correspondence Chess Grandmaster
Eric Fleischman, Original Life Master, Candidate Master and National Master
Olga Sagalchik, Woman FIDE Master
Fred Wilson, National Master
Chikwere (Chi Chi) Godwin Onyekwere – FIDE Candidate Master and National Master (Youngest Nigerian National Junior/ National Chess champion in history)
Vladimir Bugayev – Original Life Master and National Master

More coaches will be added as needed
* Grandmaster Mark Paragua and FIDE Master Jonathan Subervi (both previously part of the Coaches Corner) recently joined as coaches with Impact Coaching Network and Speyer Legacy School, respectively. While both will still be coaching at the Metros, they will naturally be focused on supporting only the students from their own schools and academies that employ them. We’re thrilled for them and excited about their new opportunities.

Check out their websites at the bottom of this post to see all the wonderful programs they offer and what they are all about!
