Iowa State Chess Association

The International Chess Academy is located in Glen Rock, New Jersey, and operates one of the more active rated tournament programs in the state. ICA is perhaps best known for its weekly Glen Rock Quads — a format in which players are grouped into sets of four by rating and play a three-game round robin. In addition to weekly events, ICA hosts major annual competitions including the ICA FIDE Championship and the Dr. David Ostfeld Memorial Championships. The academy also offers chess instruction and runs scholastic programming in the Bergen County area.
