Dear Chess Friends & Families:

We are crossing the halfway point in the summer, and it's been an eventful four weeks so far across our Upper East Side, Midtown West, Marshall, Lower East Side, and Brooklyn camp sites.

This last week we congratulated our Brooklyn coach Toshinori Underwood, as he notched a perfect 4.0/4 score at a recent Marshall event (including a win over IM Justin Chen) and crossed the 2200 barrier into becoming a National Master.

The Brooklyn camp has been our biggest this summer (alongside Midtown), and features several masters (including Toshi!) mentoring Brooklyn's strongest ever summer camp.

Our Marshall camp is averaging over 30 kids a week, playing at a very high level (1200+ USCF), and the camp has been growing in size and rating strength every single week.

Our Marshall camp now features training and coaching with Brewington Hardaway, who recently earned his third and final IM norm at the age of 14. Brewington has been studying, playing, and now working with our summer camps for a number of years, and we love having him onsite to help mentor and train a new generation.

Our Camp vs Camp Match field trips have been underway, with ten-board teams traveling for head to head matches against like-rated opponents. (Traveling for a match isn't a requirement while attending our camps, kids volunteer to go.)

We have had over a dozen kids break 1000+ USCF this summer, and the hits keep coming. You can track all the results here at our USCF affiliate page: Impact Coaching Network @ USCF.

Registration remains ongoing at all sites, this is great preparation for the coming fall season (fall registration is now open), and we look forward to seeing you in the coming weeks. Also, stay tuned, we will have information soon about the final week of summer, August 28th - September 1st.

We grow stronger through a diverse mixture of players and teams, so we hope to see you all come.

Thanks,

Ian
