Chess Federation (USCF), which conducts a variety of national championships, is considering a change in the format of the annual U.S. Women's Championship. To save money, the USCF may switch from the traditional 10- or 12-player round robin to a double round-robin event with only the defending champion and three high-rated rivals. The 1989 champion, Alexey Root, is circulating a petition to oppose the change.
