The GM Maurice Ashley National Tournament of K-3 State Champions is an annual invitational event run by US Chess that will start determining the Ashley National Champion in 2026. A total of $18,650 in prizes will be awarded, including $5,800 in scholarship and cash prizes to the champion. The champion will qualify for the World Cadet Championship, as long as eligibility requirements are met. Any tournament-qualification prize will be determined by tiebreak—not by a playoff.
Sponsored by the US Chess Trust, John D. Rockefeller V, and the Internet Chess Club.
