ISOCL 2026–27
A league for school teams
The International Schools Online Chess League brings students together through friendly competition on Lichess. Players represent their school or campus, and their individual performances contribute to a shared team result.
SCA Chess Academy has organised chess tournaments in Shanghai since 2015. ISOCL gives students a chance to practise decision-making, learn from their games and support their teammates.
