googled ohio chess. don't know where youngstown is, but it looks like there are clubs in ohio. so what you do is stop in the nearest one and ask them some questions.
well, im 14 and i would really love to get involved in some sort of tournament/ league whatever they call it, but how do i? do i just show up? do i register ahead? do i have to be a registered player what? im at a loss. all i know is i want to pay, badly.
