This page is under construction and will be an ongoing project for this site.  The idea is to honor and provide information about American Masters that were not necessarily US Champions or World Champions.  All this information, of course, can be found elsewhere on the internet and this page is more to highlight those players, writers, and organizers who contributed to chess in the Americas and particularly in the United States.  Their contributions allowed for the formation of the United States Chess Federation and the environment that would ultimately produce a world champion.  Of course, you may contact the site via the Contact Us page with suggestions or articles that you would like to see here.
