The United States Chess Federation and World Chess Live are
pleased to announce that, after a close competition, IM David Vigorito,
representing Massachusetts, has won the fourth U.S. State Champion of
Champions event and will now go forward to the 2008
Frank K. Berry U.S. Chess Championship, 13-21 May, in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
Fifty state champions from Alaska through California to Hawaii, and

may add to their Junior Grand Prix point totals as well by playing in World
Chess Live's new Online Grand Prix tournaments, running each week through the
