Chess at UT Dallas

About Our Chess Program

The University of Texas at Dallas takes chess seriously. The Chess Program, established in 1996, engages in the highest levels of competition and fosters intellectual prowess across its offerings.

Our fiercely competitive Chess Team consistently wins national and international titles and represents UT Dallas in the Pan American Intercollegiate Championship, the National Collegiate Chess League team championship and the Final Four of Chess.

We also offer a recreational Chess Club for the campus community and education initiatives such as online instruction for academic credit and summer camps.
