Brunei Birthday Blitz Bash on ICC!

We all know ICC is the place to be for the biggest and best online prize 
tournaments - and we've got another coming up early next week for our members.

The 1st Brunei Internet Chess Blitz, with a total prize fund of $6,500 USD, 
will take place on Tuesday, July 15th starting at 2:00AM ET to collaborate 
with the official 62nd Birthday celebrations for the Sultan of Brunei! This 
event on ICC is open to players from all over the world. The 13 round, 3 0 
minute blitz promises to attract many top grandmasters, all of whom will be 
battling it out for the five major cash prizes, including the first prize 
of $1,500 USD.  

There will also be plenty of consolation prizes on offer for what promises 
to be a fun-filled, through-the-night tournament here at ICC, where our 
members in the likes of Australia and early-risers in Europe finally get the 
time zone advantage over North American members!
