NEW PLAYING PLATFORM:

Going into the month of June and the final stretch of our programs we have several exciting announcements.

First off we are thrilled to announce that this coming Monday, June 1st, we will be launching 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.

Each player will be receiving a unique username and password starting Monday for our events held both at 11:30 am and 4:00 pm daily. We will continue to update all of our stats including: ICN Ratings, Grand Prix totals and daily Puzzle Contest results.

Starting Monday:

You can access our NEW playing platform at the below link.

ALL HANDS ON DECK:

Finally we are thrilled to open up our Year End Championship events to ALL ICN PLAYERS.

Our dream is to get everyone involved and fighting for individual and team recognition where all of our players and teams from across ICN are represented in FULL STRENGTH.

For those who have been playing actively online we look forward to having you.

For those who have not been as active...We look forward to having you finish the year strong and having you help support your teams!

Registration will be placed on behalf of each of our players for BOTH EVENTS. There is no need to register. Details will be sent out on how to access the event, and join your school's respective team rooms with LIVE coaching.

Let's Finish Strong,

Coach Russ
