The paper discusses the development of chess on the territory of the Częstochowa Voivodeship, which existed in the years 1975–1998. The content of the text relates primarily to activities of the Regional Chess Association in Częstochowa established in 1976, as well as to successes of chess players. Not only representatives of Częstochowa clubs were successful, but also those of clubs located in neighbouring communes and towns. These were successes at both all-Poland and international events.
