The North American Chess Association (NACA) was founded in 2006 for the purpose of furthering amateur and professional chess across the North American countries of Bermuda, Canada, Mexico, and the United States of America. In addition to furthering amateur and professional chess, NACA will lead the charge of integrating the chess communities across North America in a similiar fashion that our European counterparts have enjoyed, in order for the North American chess community to be more aligned with each other and also to be aligned with the global chess community.

We welcome everyone to register and enjoy the services that NACA will offer throughout the year and in the future.

Good Chess to All,
Sevan A. Muradian, President
North American Chess Association
