ChessKid: Competitions and Classrooms!
Hey ChessKid readers! Wondering what's going on in the CK universe this month? Look no further.
King of Puzzles Contest:
To kick off the month, we're hosting our 6th Annual King of Puzzles contest. Every ChessKid that solves at least 100 puzzles correctly during the month of September will be entered into a drawing to play FunMasterMike, and the prize doesn't stop there: he'll turn the winner's game into a video with live commentary! The lucky kid will be famous forever on ChessKid.com (although his/her name will still be secret).
In order to be eligible, they'll need to join the ChessKid Official Club. To do unlimited puzzles, upgrade to a gold membership!
Oh, and FunMasterMike has gone crazy with a bonus offer!
King of Puzzles is back on @ChessKidcom !

If someone solves 2000 puzzles in September, I'll play a game on stream while upside down. https://t.co/ADca2jNa9O
Enterprise Accounts:
Back to school season is in full swing, and many schools are making the move toward Enterprise Accounts. If you haven't checked these out yet, it's a great way to get your whole school on ChessKid. For schools and programs registering 100+ kids on ChessKid, you are eligible for an Enterprise Account, which offers increased control and more teacher management capabilities. Want to learn more?
