About Us
The New Jersey State Chess Federation (NJSCF) is an organization dedicated to the advancement of
chess. For many years the NJSCF has been holding chess tournaments in order to give New Jersey
players an outlet to play. The NJSCF has also been supporting chess clubs around the state
both with funding, as well as advertising through our top notch magazine Atlantic Chess News (ACN).
Over recent years the NJSCF has started the Sets for Vets program and has donated thousands of dollars
in chess sets, boards, and clocks to veteran's homes all over the state! Another of the area in NJ chess
that we excel in is our scholastic chess program. We provide several tournaments throughout the year
in order both to give kids a place to play, but also the chance to pay in a state championship!
Finally, with our two big name national tournaments every year, The World Amateur Team East and the Amateur East
Individual tournament the NJSCF stays active in both state-wide and national chess. Come join us
at a tournament today!
