The major national scholastic chess championships are the National High School (K-12) championship (est. 1969), National Junior High School (K-9) championship (est. 1973), the National Elementary (K-6) championship (est. 1976), and the National Primary (K-3) championship (est. 1983). These tournaments, held annually during the spring, have been around for the longest period of time, and typically attract the most participants, with the National Elementary championship often being the largest event (in terms of participants). Only five players in history have won the National Elementary, Junior High School and High School championships: Joel Benjamin, Joshua Waitzkin, Nawrose Nur, Danial Asaria, and Harutyun Akopyan; only Waitzkin, Nur, and Asaria have won the National Primary championship as well. Danial Asaria won the 2020 High School Senior Rapid, the 2016 National Junior High School Chess Championship K-8, the 2015 National K-12 Grade Championship, the National Junior Chess Congress 2014, and the 2012 National Elementary Chess championship. Akshat Chandra won the National High School Championship (K-12) in 2015, and the SuperNational Junior High School Championship (K-9) in 2013, both in his first and only appearance, but never played in the National Elementary Championship due to his late start in Chess.
