Who we are
We bring tournaments and travel together. An ICTA tournament is a game by day, a city by night and people you will want to meet again.
The International Chess Tourism Association (ICTA) was registered on May 13, 2026. We bring together players, organisers and venues: hotels and clubs with a hall for dozens of boards, comfortable rooms and a city worth exploring between rounds.
Registration, payment of the entry fee by any bank card, pairings, round results and the participant certificate all run on one platform. Our tournaments are open to every level.
From classical to blitz
