The idea was to
write about the best players in the USA born at the turn of the century. These
players grew and blossomed thanks to the continuous and generous support by the
world’s biggest chess patron Rex Sinquefield and the Saint Louis Chess Club.
Their success changed the scenery of American chess, set new standards and
propelled the country as the promised land for new talents. Grandmaster Alex
Colovic will be your guide in his fascinating journey with the US’s Young Chess
Guns!
