The Idaho Chess Association (ICA) established in 1947 is a not for profit member supported corporation which promotes the game of chess throughout the state of Idaho. We are the official State Affiliate to the United States Chess Federation (USCF).

We organize official chess tournaments and bestow various official titles such as Idaho State Chess Champion or Idaho Scholastic Chess Champion based on the results of those tournaments.

We support and promote chess all around the State at the statewide and local levels. We have a rich history and sense of tradition and leadership that takes the noble game of chess to the highest standards and levels of competition throughout Idaho.

Please feel free to participate in our many events and to enjoy the game of chess on the competitive level either through events we organize, or those organized by other organizations throughout Idaho.

We welcome comments and suggestions. To contact us, please visit our Board Of Directors contact page. Please enjoy and return to our site often as new events are being organized while results/games are reported as time marches on.
