Chess has a rich history in the state of New York, with the game being played and enjoyed by players of all ages and skill levels for many years. The New York State Chess Association (NYSCA) is the organization that promotes chess in the state and organizes tournaments and events for players of all skill levels. The NYSCA has been active since the early 1900s and has been instrumental in promoting the game across the state, especially in schools and universities.
One of the earliest known chess clubs in New York was the Manhattan Chess Club, which was founded in the early 1900s. Other early chess clubs in the state included the Brooklyn Chess Club, which was founded in the mid-1900s, and the Queens Chess Club, which was founded in the late 1900s.
In recent years, New York has produced a number of talented chess players, including famous champions like GM Hikaru Nakamura, GM Fabiano Caruana, GM Wesley So, GM Lev Alburt, GM Joel Benjamin, GM Gata Kamsky and many others who represented the state in the US Championship and other major tournaments. New York City also host several major chess tournaments, such as the US Open, which attracts players from all over the world.
