At Dean of Chess Academy (DOCA), we hold a range of United States Chess Federation (USCF) rated events to improve your child's experience of playing chess competitively and put into practice strategies and theories that they have learnt in class. Players must be registered with the USCF and Chesskid.com to play in any of our USCF rated events.

All of our events are USCF rated so you can track your progress online at uschess.org.
