Playfly College Esports is excited to return this year in continued partnership with Chess.com, providing competitions for the strongest of teams as well as a space for brand new clubs and programs.
INDIA COLLEGIATE CHESS CHAMPIONSHIP
The India Collegiate Chess Championship is a new competition spun off from the success of the Collegiate Chess League. Both are organized and administered by Playfly College Esports in coordination with Chess.com. This opportunity seeks to offer a more localized tournament for India teams to compete at a high level against their peers!
“Fall 2024 was our largest season yet, with both our international and regional India competitions exceeding our expectations. A combined 685 teams from 333 unique schools is just amazing! Interest has steadily grown since the start of our partnership in 2022, but each year, our community shows us how much further we can go.”
