SAINT LOUIS, REX AND TONY WIN PRESTIGIOUS HONORS FROM THE USCF

 

ST. LOUIS, August 6, 2009  --  Saint Louis was named Chess City of the Year by the U.S. Chess Federation, and two other Saint Louisans also were honored by the federation for their part in promoting chess.

Saint Louis will formally receive the honor at the federation's annual awards luncheon on Aug. 8 in Indianapolis. Typically, the Crossville, Tenn.-based Chess Federation honors more than one city each year, but Saint Louis was the sole honoree this year. That's happened only nine other times since the first Chess City of the Year was named in 1983.
