Washington Chess Federation

Supporting and promoting chess related activities throughout Washington State since 1946

Welcome to the WCF.

We are in a unique time for sure. The COVID-19 pandemic has really affected so many things up and down the line, and not surprisingly, chess! Chess players don’t just stop playing chess, organizers don’t just stop organizing, publishers don’t just stop publishing, and for most of us, life goes on. It is in our nature to find ways to keep going, and going, and going...

I look forward to the day when we can all once again meet over the board and in the interim, we’ll keep finding ways to play online together.

Chess: A Visual Archive

WCF is delighted to share a video created by WCF member Olin Martin. The video is a fan-made tribute created purely out of love and joy for the game of chess.
