2018 City Championship Report

The 52nd Annual City Championship (longest running scholastic event in history) was a smashing success for ICN programs across the board!

With 1467 players participating from across NYC, this was the largest City Championship in history. Impact Coaching Network (ICN) fielded 136 competitors representing teams from PS 11, PS 33, PS 59, PS 116, PS 111 and PS 281.

Our players showed much grit and determination as they competed fiercely against NYC's very best across 9 sections and two full days of chess.

In the end there was plenty to celebrate as ICN teams secured NINETEEN Top 10 team finishes, NINE team trophy honors, One team City Co-Championship, TWENTY TWO individual trophies, TEN individual medals and FIVE individual City Co-Champions!

We could not be more proud of our players' tireless preparation and dedication which was on full display the entire weekend.
