2020 NC State Championship Logo

The NC K-12 Chess Championship is the BIGGEST Chess event annually in North Carolina.

We’re setting up for a record 900 players this year. Players will range in ability from first time tournament player to Chess Master! We have over 350 prizes for all different ability levels giving individual players, even new players, of varying skill the chance to trophy. This event is a dual Individual and Team event — meaning everyone registers individually but if you get 4 or more players from your school in your section then you can also have a chance at team trophies too!

Who: All North Carolina Pre-Kindergarten to grade 12 chess players! If you can make checkmate then you are encouraged to play.

Where: Raleigh Convention Center, 500 South Salisbury Street, Raleigh, NC 27601
