Advance Entry List for the 2024 Spring NYOS Scholastic Chess Tournament

All registrations appear automatically. Please allow one to two days for USCF information to be verified, at which point the rating will be entered. (You may see ratings within sections that seem illogical. Please understand that only after the April 2024 rating supplement is finalized and published will players receive their final section adjustments. Rating changes made late March will not affect pairings or section placement.)

It is better to register early and change your section later, than to wait to register!

Jump to: K-3 New, K-3 U400, K-3 U700, K-5 U600, K-5 U1000, 6-12 U600, 6-12 U1000, K-12 Elite, Open Section.
NOTE: Due to extraordinary K-3 U400 turnout, that section has been split. All players with NO rated experience have been moved to K-3 New. We are offering individual trophies in both sections. We are combine the two sections in consideration of team awards, since this is a forced split.

Puzzle Contest

Final Award Winners

In order to protect the integrity of this (and potential future) contests, the decision was made not to directly reveal the puzzle answers. We might, for instance, provide another chance at any unsolved puzzles in the future.
For anyone who would like to find more puzzles in the meantime, however, here are a few suggestions:

Chess: 5334 Problems, Combinations, and Games, by Laszlo Polgar. This large puzzle collection sometimes shows up at Half Price Books, is available through Amazon, and has a kindle version.
Chesskid.com This website has a lot of resources for children learning chess, including puzzles.
Chess.com This site has not just standard but also some ‘Retrograde Analysis’ puzzles, which are of the same type as what made up our tricky April Fools problems.
Pointing your favorite search engine to “Chess Retrograde Analysis Puzzles” should give a number of hits, but one good resource for specifically this sort of problem is The Retrograde Analysis Corner (www.janko.at/Retros/Index.htm). This site includes explanation of what Retro Analysis is and how to approach the problems, as well as more than 3500 such problems.

Advance Entry List for the 2023 Winter NYOS Scholastic Chess Tournament

All registrations appear automatically. Please allow one to two days for USCF information to be verified, at which point the rating will be entered. (You may see ratings within sections that seem illogical. Please understand that only after the November 2023 rating supplement is finalized and published will players receive their final section adjustments. Rating changes made late October will not affect pairings or section placement.)

It is better to register early and change your section later, than to wait to register!
