HRCA has partnered with ChessKid.com for many years. We are a huge fan of their site and their curriculum! ChessKid is 100% safe for kids and provides high quality training videos and tests designed by Masters for kids. Kids can solve puzzles, play live games against other kids or battle the bots, watch videos, read articles, complete positional workouts, and more! HRCA kids who have gone on to compete at advanced levels were all ChessKid-obsessed when they were younger, and we know the time they spent on the site studying and practicing contributed to their success!
Through our affiliation with ChessKid, we are able to offer both members and non-members some great savings on their accounts!
IF YOU ARE AN ACTIVE MEMBER OF HRCA:
Hampton Roads Scholastic Chess Club students receive ChessKid Gold (full access) accounts as part of their annual registration fee. If you select HRSCC on the registration form, you do NOT need to register separately for ChessKid Gold.
All active HRCA students, including new students as of September 11, 2022, are entitled to our steepest discount of $15 for a ChessKid Gold account good through September 11, 2023. This rate is not prorated if an account is purchased mid-batch year, as it is already 70% off retail. Active students are those HRCA members ($10 annual fee) currently enrolled in any HRCA program, such as HRSCC, Girls Club, Guppy Chess, a school chess program, or players who are actively participating in HRCC and/or actively and frequently attending HRCA weekend tournaments.
Select Optional ChessKid Gold (non-HRSCC) on the registration form to receive this rate.
IF YOU ARE AN INACTIVE / ALUMNI OF HRCA:
All inactive students who already had a ChessKid Gold account in the HRCA batch as of August 31, 2022 with be grandfathered and continue to be eligible for a discounted non-member rate of $25 for the batch year of September 11, 2022 to September 11, 2023.
