About SPICE
by GM Susan Polgar
"The goal of SPICE is to work with our friends and colleagues to enhance chess, education, technology, research, etc." "I strongly believe that College Chess is a critical bridge between Scholastic and Adult Chess. If we can successfully promote College Chess, we will retain a lot more of our scholastic players and transition them to Adult Chess. Chess as a sport is not big enough yet and there is plenty of room to grow. Therefore, it is vital that we work together and assist each other for the best interest of our sport." - Susan Polgar , Executive Director of SPICE
