Cheers in Chicago for Gelfand

While none of the U.S. players survived long in the World Cup in Siberia, many chess fans in the Chicago area still had a player with a hometown connection they could root for to the end. Newly crowned World Cup champion Israeli GM Boris Gelfand was the childhood student of beloved chess coach Tamara Golovey, who for the past 10 years has made her home in the Chicago area. Golovey runs the local Kings and Queens chess club, which offers year-round after-school chess programs and summer camps.
