History:

Who was Marshall Rohland?

Marshall Rohland was UW Milwaukee Chemistry professor and a strong chess player with a peak rating above 2000. Although he was never a Wisconsin State Champion he was an important leader of chess on local, state, and national level. He was the USCF president from 1967-1969. He was a huge supporter of early scholastic tournaments in Wisconsin. His support was on all levels of chess organization from finding playing sites, to helping direct scholastic chess tournaments and serving multiple positions for USCF. It is important for us to remember who helped to bring chess to where it is today, especially the people who that led up to the Fischer era.

2009

United States Junior Closed

Chess Championship

Milwaukee, WI

On Monday, July 13^th 2009 the United States Junior Closed Championship began with a star studded field that was ready to fight for the crown. The event is an invitational 8 player round robin event, with a Game in 90 minute with 30 seconds increment time control. The first seven spots are given to the highest rated players under the age of 21 in the United States and the 8^th spot goes to the winner of the previous year's Junior Open. The event is both USCF and FIDE rated, thus many of the participants will be fighting ferociously to gain FIDE rating points and meet their rating requirements to secure their Grandmaster titles. The Internet Chess Club will relay the moves live. Looking back at previous years this may be one of the strongest Junior Closed Championships ever, with 1 Grandmaster-elect, 3 International Masters, 3 FIDE Masters, 1 Candidate Master, and a 2455 average rating. This event will determine the strongest player under the age of 21 in the United States. Bragging rights are not the only thing on the line, the winner of the event earns a spot into the 2010 United States Championship, and the increased prize fund from previous years:

1^st: $1,000

2^nd: $500

3^rd: $300

In addition each participant receives a $300 appearance fee.

The event is being held at the beautiful, newly renovated, Ramada Milwaukee Conference Center, located at 6331 S 13^th Street.
