Mississippi Chess Association

The Mississippi Chess Association (MCA) is the official US Chess-affiliated organization for the state of Mississippi, promoting competitive chess across all skill levels and age groups statewide. The MCA runs the Mississippi State Open and a full calendar of annual championships — including Quick and Blitz, G/45, G/60, Senior, Women's, and Team titles — primarily at the Nissan Training Center in Canton and Jackson Preparatory School in Flowood. The association also hosts the Bienville Chess Classic at Roosevelt State Park and manages scholastic team championships throughout the state.
