Chess in Wyoming has a relatively short history when compared to other states in the US, as it is sparsely populated state. However, the game has been played there by enthusiasts for decades. The earliest known chess club in Wyoming was the Cheyenne Chess Club, which was founded in the 1950s.
In the post-war period, Wyoming did not produce any famous chess champions. But, chess clubs and tournaments have been active in the state, with many local and state-wide tournaments and events being held regularly. The Wyoming Chess Association is the governing body for chess in Wyoming and promotes the game throughout the state.
Wyoming may not have produced notable chess players, but the state has been home to some chess enthusiasts who have been actively promoting the game in the community. They have been organizing chess tournaments and events to attract more players and to promote the game among the youth.
