Goals

  • Create a low pressure yet competitive online environment for business professionals throughout North America to meet across the board.
  • Encourage novice players and chess aficionados alike to compete by using a team scoring system in which everyone can contribute to their company's team, but only the top scorers affect the leaderboard. – that's right, you can't hurt the team!
  • Popularize online chess at the corporate level during work from home.
  • Promote a social chess community – companies will be encouraged to host "team meetings" online while playing, and games will be broadcasted live with expert commentary and special guests.
  • Represent your company through friendly and social competition. Awards given to both top companies and individuals. Social media shares and acknowledgments during live broadcasts, to thousands of followers.
  • Assist companies in their efforts to create online team building and networking activities for their employees.
