Jacqueline Piatigorsky: Patron, Player, Pioneer
A new show at the World Chess Hall of Fame (WCHOF) in St. Louis, Missouri titled “Jacqueline Piatigorsky: Patron, Player, Pioneer” uses artifacts from her archive to tell the story of her fascinating life and fantastic achievements in the world of chess. The objects are part of a generous donation to the WCHOF from the Piatigorsky family. The exhibition includes artifacts such as the Piatigorsky Cup trophy created by Tiffany & Co. in 1963. The newly-restored cup will be displayed alongside personal chess- related items belonging to Mrs. Piatigorsky, images of tournament play, rare artifacts from the first Women’s Chess Olympiad, and objects related to the progressive Piatigorsky Foundation. Additionally, the exhibition features interesting artifacts related to inductees to both the World and U.S. Chess Halls of Fame. Visit
