The Kraken

Welcome to The Kraken, a free online scholastic chess club for students K-12 in Northwest Washington. Parents are welcome to join also, not to play but to encourage, watch and learn with their kids. To join, see directions below.

We provide a place where local youth can find and play chess with other local players.

The Kraken is directed by Randy Kaech, Randy.Kaech@ferndalesd.org (a.k.a. MooseMouse).
