Sheridan To Host 2023 State Chess Championship

The Wyoming Chess Association announced that the Wyoming Championship Chess Tournament will be held Saturday, September 23 and Sunday, September 24 in Sheridan, Wyoming.

“We’re excited to be holding the Wyoming Championship Chess Tournament in Sheridan this year,” said Brian Walker, President of the Wyoming Chess Association. “Sheridan has a very active chess community and is the new host of the Wyoming Chess Library located at the Sheridan County Fulmer Public Library. Sheridan will host a world-class state championship tournament this year.”

This is the first year that the Wyoming Chess Association is holding the statewide tournament in Sheridan.

The Wyoming Chess Association board voted to move the tournament to Sheridan after the Sheridan Chess Association hosted the largest tournament in Wyoming history last May.

The 2022 championship tournament was held in Casper.

The Wyoming Championship Chess Tournament will be open only to Wyoming residents and will determine who will be the men’s and women’s 2023 Wyoming State Champions.

The tournament will be held at the Ramada Plaza Conference Center in Sheridan.

The tournament is open to all levels of players each of whom will play three games on Saturday and two on Sunday morning.
