The Texas Chess Archive is beginning to take shape, with a growing collection of Texas Chess Association - TCA Texas Knights bulletins from the 1960s through 1970, along with the first issue of the Texas Chess-O-Gram from September 1970.

These publications offer a fascinating look at Texas chess more than half a century ago, including tournaments, games, results, clubs, and many of the people who helped build chess across the state.

The issues have been digitized and made searchable, with the goal of making this history available instead of leaving it forgotten in boxes or eventually lost.

We’re looking for more. If you have old Texas chess magazines, newsletters, tournament bulletins, photographs, crosstables, or other historical material, send us a message.

Help us preserve the history of Texas chess.
