Welcome to the EJCA

Regrettably, in light of the current Covid-19 situation, there is no realistic chance of GP5 in Chelmsford being able to go ahead on 21st June. Therefore the Grand Prix season 2019/2020 is now over. Decisions regarding the awarding of titles will be published on this page in the next few days.

Essex Junior Chess Association seeks to promote the game of chess for players aged under 18 throughout the county of Essex, including the London Boroughs of Havering, Barking and Dagenham, Redbridge, Waltham Forest and Newham.

EJCA run tournaments and coaching sessions, and enter teams in national competition in several age ranges.
