In the spirit of fostering a community for NYC's middle schoolers and top scholastic players, we're excited to be offering in-person training sessions every Tuesday led by top ICN Coaches, and these sessions will be open to all players from all schools, There will be specific groupings based on skill level.

Club doors will open at 3:30 pm. Lessons and Activities will start at 4:00 pm, once all students from other schools have arrived.The goal of these classes will be to focus on calculation, middle game technique, and other critical areas of chess growth.

Each class will last 90 minutes, with one part consisting of lecture and the other part consisting of thematic middle game training exercises grouped according to rating level.

We are eager to prepare NYC's finest for the upcoming Championship series (Girls States, Grades, States, Girls Nationals, Middle School Nationals)!
