Welcome to Golden Isles Scholastic Chess !

Golden Isles Scholastic Chess Association (GISCA) is a not-for-profit organization committed to promoting scholastic chess in the Golden Isles and is an affiliate of the United States Chess Federation.

GISCA sponsors a Grand Prix Championship Series consisting of four tournaments each school year.  Top Teams from the Grand Prix Series qualify to participate the Georgia State Team Championship and trophies are awarded to the top players from each division.

We are extremely grateful for having Rex Demers as our Chief Tournament Director for the last seven years.  Click to learn more about the Memorial Service on Sunday, April 15, 2012 celebrating his life.

Full 2011-2012 GISCA Grand Prix and tournament results have been posted.

Tournament photos will be available in the coming days.
