Chess has a long history in Massachusetts, dating back to the 19th century. Some of the early chess clubs in Massachusetts include the Massachusetts Chess Association, the Boston Chess Club, and the Cambridge Chess Club.
The Massachusetts Chess Association, founded in the 1940s, is the oldest chess organization in the state. It promotes chess throughout Massachusetts and organizes tournaments and events for players of all skill levels.
