Tennessee has one of the nation's most outstanding chess programs for scholastic-age players. Every year hundreds of school-age players from across Tennessee compete in local, regional and state championship events. There are both individual and team competitions, as well as events for players of all ages and skill levels.

The Tennessee Chess Association has sponsored state scholastic individual and team chess tournaments for 29 years beginning in 1971. Currently separate individual and team regional events are held with the winners qualifying to advance to the state individual and team finals. Both individual and team events are generally held between January and March each year.
