The Hungarian Chess Federation (Hungarian: Magyar Sakkszövetség, pronounced [ˈmɒɟɒr ˈʃɒkːˈsøvɛt͡ʃːeːɡ] - MSSz) is the national organization for chess in Hungary. It is affiliated to the World Chess Federation and was founded in 1921. The chairman is Miklós Seszták. The Hungarian Chess Federation organizes a Hungarian Chess Championship.

Hungary hosted the 2nd unofficial Chess Olympiad in 1926.

Organization

The board consists of a chairman, a deputy chairman, a secretary and a treasurer. The chairman and the deputy chairman are elected for a 4-year term.
