1st-Ever 'ChessKid Games' Coming In June!

REMINDER: You must play a minimum of 50 games in "Fast Chess" and register in the form below to be eligible! Read all the rules below.

The first-ever ChessKid Games won't test out how fast you can run or swim, but it will test the skills of some of the best ChessKid users in several different disciplines! Not only that, alumni of the famous "CONIC" event will pair up alongside current ChessKids for the added team element to this fun day of chess.

The ChessKid Games will take place on June 1, 2019 on ChessKid.com. ChessKids and CONIC alumni will be competing in three areas:

An elite group of 10 ChessKids will qualify to compete, and 10 CONIC alumni will be invited by ChessKid staff. Over the seven years that CONIC took place, some very impressive names have competed, including: WGM Jennifer Yu, FM Carissa Yip, GM Ruifeng Li, GM John Michael Burke, WIM Annie Wang, GM Nicholas Checa.

ChessKids will come from all over the world and qualification will be based on both ChessKid activity in "Fast Chess" and also a child's USCF/FIDE/or local rating.

Here's how to qualify

After the 10 ChessKids qualify, they will then select their partner from the list of CONIC alumni (ChessKid will release who the "alumni" players are at a later time). The ChessKid who won the most games in the month of April in our live server will get first pick of partner. The child with the second-most games won will get the second selection of partner, and so forth.

*Note that while the international ChessKids are not required to play 50 games in the live server, they would still be encouraged to be very active as winning many games would give them a better chance to have a higher selection of partner.
