Hello everyone. This is my first post!
Please, please tune in on our Twitch channel called mastermindchess. Today, 7/16/22 (MST) at 3:00 PM, we are doing "Tortured Masters" where we sabotage a well-respected National chess master while he plays blitz live on Chess.com. Our tortured master for this episode is 5-time Colorado State Chess Champion and USCF "Outstanding Team Achievement Award" recipient and all-around great guy, NM Lior Lapid. He will be playing chess under some of the most extreme and wacky conditions known to man and it will be FUNNY!!!!!

Hi all, this is a story that aired last night on Channel 7 about Griffin becoming a National Master. He is trying to leverage his short 15 minutes of fame to promote the chess tournament for children with disabilities he is producing with Chess.com and ChessKid. We just need players to sign up and play!!!
