When playing chess on a screen, Lauser has to hold the device at a particular angle in order to see any information.
In the year since Jessica Lauser moved to Kansas City, she s helped the 39th-seeded U.S. chess team for people with disabilities climb to 10th place but she s also experienced homelessness.
Chess champion Jessica Lauser is determined to do many things: earn a graduate degree in Slavic languages, reach the rank of national chess master and hang onto the Kansas City studio apartment she moved into earlier this year after a stint of homelessness.
Lauser is a three-time United States Blind Chess Champion, having won the competition in 2018, 2019, and 2020. And while she can take down just about anyone in chess particularly in games played in under five minutes her impaired vision makes other aspects of her life more difficult to handle.

If you’re one of the millions of people who watched “The Queen’s Gambit” on Netflix and now want to play chess like fictional Beth Harmon, then check out these Pittsburgh-based organizations.
Before the shutdown, the Pittsburgh Chess Club was open during the week at its location in Squirrel Hill. The club isn’t meeting right now because of COVID restrictions and plans to move to a different location soon. Right now they have virtual competitions. Membership has a small fee but is currently in a “pay what you want” format, due to the pandemic. The non-profit traces its roots to the mid-1800s and offers classes, lectures, exhibitions and chess tournaments.
