ICC will be holding a special European Party for its members on the evening of Monday, 3 December with its Spanish partners, CET, at the top Barcelona nightclub, Luz de Gas. And this will be no ordinary party, because Judit Polgar will also be on-hand to play a 10 board simul – and ICC members can win a chance to play her!

On Thursday, 22 November at 15:00 ICC Time (21:00 CET – 20:00 UK), there will be a two game rapid match on ICC between WGM Martha Fierro and IM Alejo de Dovitlis. During that match, ICC’s ever-popular “Guess The Move” bot will spring into action at various times asking members to guess what the next moves will be. The member who accumulates the most number of correct moves will be the winner; in the event of a tie, a tiebreaking system will be announced before the start of the games.

Prizes on offer in this exclusive, members-only competition will be: Invitation to ICC European Party, including seat to play against Judit Polgar + 300 euros (to help cover travel costs) + hotel room & breakfast (Night of Dec. 3 only). This main prize will only be paid out when member arrives in Barcelona. If member can’t travel for whatever reason, then prize will be offered to next place etc. There will also be conciliation prizes of ICC membership extensions. ***Please also note that this competition is restricted to players rated under 2200 FIDE (or national rating equivalent) only***.

All ICC members are welcome to join us in Barcelona for free entry to ICC European Party. For further details or to book your ticket, contact us at mailto:soporte@chessclub.com
