The SCCA was established in 1940 to provide quality correspondence and email chess to players of all standards.

 

Within the SCCA you will find like-minded friends who wish to enjoy the game of correspondence chess.

 

The SCCA is a founder member of the British Federation of Correspondence Chess.

 

This allows our members to play in both National Tournaments through the BFCC and International Tournaments through the International Correspondence Chess Federation.

 

The SCCA enters all the main postal team competitions, including the British Correspondence Chess Team Championship, British Correspondence Chess League, Scottish Chess League and Scheming Mind Chess Tournaments and arranges friendly matches against other clubs and associations.

 

We also run a variety of individual competitions, The Club Championship, League Tournament, Knockout Tournaments and Continuous Tournaments.

 

The club publishes its own quarterly magazine, “Checkmate” which contains tournament results, games, articles, news, gradings and other information.

 

The annual membership is currently only £5.00 and includes free entry to all of the clubs team and individual tournaments.
