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!

“Since the start of our partnership in 2022, we’ve seen outstanding growth and interest in our chess competitions. Spring 2024 was our largest season yet and now we’ve reached a point where we can be spinning into regional competitions to better meet a significant portion of our international colleges at a more comfortable, local time – which in turn will enable further growth.”

- Joe Navarro, Playfly Esports Operations Manager
