New Online Playing Platform Starts Today

Dear Chess Friends,

Today we enter a new month..the Month of June.. and today I encourage each of you..each of us.. to FINISH STRONG...With only a few weeks remaining until the end of our school year & the end of our semester, it will be easy to limp & crawl towards the finish line, but instead I encourage each of you...each of us to SPRINT and FINISH STRONG.

They often say, it's not how you start the race, but how you finish, the FINAL PUSH..

As we enter the Month of June, I encourage you to finish strong, jump back into your puzzles, re-engage with our daily tournaments and activities, join us once again at our weekly Chess Club & Team zoom meetings, jump into our STAR room and make sure to join us at our seasons FINAL TWO CHAMPIONSHIP EVENTS (See below).

Our season will conclude with our ICN Year End Championship on Sunday June 21st. We will then take a short break followed by the launch of our Virtual Summer Camps headlined by GM Sam Shankland.

In an effort to provide the best possible playing experience moving forward and to re-engage all of our students, starting today we will be using a NEW Online Platform for both our 11:30 am and 4:00 pm daily tournaments. You can find all of the information below.

I understand none of this has been easy, that chess is only a small part of your overall life, we are thankful for the opportunity to come alongside of you during this time, and we look forward to FINISHING STRONG.

  • 4:00 PM - JOIN US TODAY

Thanks,

Coach Russ

NEW PLAYING PLATFORM:

First off we are thrilled to announce that starting today we will launch our NEW online playing platform which will be used for Online League Matches, Year End Championships and Virtual Summer Camps.

This NEW platform will provide a much smoother playing experience and allow for our programs to grow and prosper into the future. We understand that chesskid became very frustrating with the disruption to their live playing options, and we appreciate all of your patience as we searched for a viable replacement option.

Starting Today:

You can access our NEW playing platform at the below link. Make sure to get their 15 minutes prior to each event.
