Scholastic Tournaments host K-12 students only— making them a great option for students who have never played in a tournament before, looking for a competitive but friendly environment

Open Play is a weekly event where players gather to play chess and practice. It is open to anyone with a Play Plan or a Standard or Premier membership. We provide all the necessary equipment!

Family Plans allow for all members of the immediate nuclear family (sorry, not cousins!) to play at a combined/discount rate: instead of the listed rate, each additional member on the family plan plays at a lower price.

We host weekly Swiss tournaments across all our locations, offering members regular opportunities to compete and improve. Members with the DFW Competitive Pass receive a 100% discount code to use during online registration for any of our weekly tournaments, including the Friday Swiss, Plano Swiss, Frisco Swiss, Frisco Beginner Swiss, Frisco Quick, Irving Swiss, and Irving Blitz. This offer applies only to online bookings using the member’s unique code and covers one member per pass. Playing up to a higher section is not included, and TCC reserves the right to modify or remove tournaments at any time.

Members in Houston can enjoy similar benefits with the Houston Competitive Pass, which provides a 100% discount for entry into the Bellaire Swiss, our weekly Houston tournament. This offer is also valid for online registration only and applies to one member per pass.

If you use a Competitive Pass or Premier Subscription registration code while your subscription is inactive, canceled, or paused, Texas Chess Center may charge the card on file for either the full tournament entry fee or additional months of the applicable subscription at the full rate. Competitive Pass/Premier code registrations are valid only if your pass/subscription is active on the tournament date. If you cancel, entries remain valid only for tournaments within your current billing period. Tournaments after cancellation require the standard entry fee or reinstatement.
