NJKO Hit Canvas

Their inaugural season in the USCL ended with a resounding thud for the New Jersey Knockouts as they were...well, knocked out of the playoffs by the New York Knights. The final score of the match was 1-2-1.

Congratulations to the Knights on their qualifying for the postseason!

"My study of chess was accompanied by a strong attraction to music, and it was probably thanks to this that from childhood I became accustomed to thinking of chess as an art, and have never regarded it as anything else, for all the science and sport involved in it. And, moreover, an art which in some ways is closer to music than it is customary to think. Perhaps chess and music are drawn together by laws of harmony and beauty which are difficult to formulate and difficult to grasp, or perhaps by something else." - Vasily Smyslov
