NCCA Invitational

The North Carolina Invitational is an annual six-player tournament that pits the six highest-rated active players in the state in a round robin format.

The list of winners reads like a "Who's Who" of North Carolina chess. The players' titles reflect their highest chess accomplishment and not necessarily their title at the time of the tournament.
