CSCA

Upcoming CSCA and other select events

The following is a list of CSCA and select other organizations' events relevant to the Connecticut chess community. Although we list non- CSCA events here for our members' convenience, the primary purpose of the calendar is the listing of CSCA, CSCA-sanctioned, CSCA-partnered and member organization activities. Our below calendar is not a clearinghouse and is not intended to include every possible chess activity in our state.

Organizers and players may also visit the Connecticut Clearinghouse and our Clubs page for other Connecticut chess activities. For regional and national listings, see the New England Clearinghouse, a service of the New England Chess Association and the US Chess event calendars.
