ICN Grade Championship Report

Our 2020 ICN Grade Championships was a celebration of our chess community where programs from across ICN had the opportunity to engage in a day of fierce but friendly competition, with an opportunity to earn well deserved individual and team success. 

With 198 players representing 14 programs across 6 grade sections, and almost every team being represented on the podium, our ICN Grade Championships was an event we will always remember.

Our day stated with an opening ceremony, followed by each of our players joining their teams in 14 respective team rooms lead by their team coaches. Players updated their results, reviewed games, and enjoyed support from teammates throughout the entire day. Our day concluded with an award ceremony, that celebrated the well deserved success and with so many smiles representing so many students from across ICN, the theme of the day was separate but NEVER apart! 

You can find all of the team and individual standings below along with our award ceremony and photos.

We now look forward to our season’s final event which will be our ICN Individual & Team Championships held on Saturday June 20th. Once again, all our players are registered, and we'd love to celebrate together with all of you!

Separate but NEVER apart!
