A whopping 2,100+ KIDS have signed up for our inaugural US Chess/ChessKid Online Elementary Championship. The tournament is taking place this weekend: August 8-9, 2020 on the ChessKid live server. This event will be entirely online, and we have a few activities planned around it.
The Photo Competition!

The winners will be announced by the following Friday and the top three pictures get one-year gold membership to ChessKid.com (or similar value).
