Hey Courtyard Chess!
As the new school year kicks off for me and approaches for many of you, I'm going to try to have more availability for you all, especially on the weekends. That way, there will be more opportunities for you to improve and get weekly advice. Keep the chess games going and stay committed to your puzzle practice!

Hey Chess People,
I just returned from the Illinois State tournament in Peoria Th. There were some really tough opponents! Though our team didn't end up winning, I won all my games!
Thanks :) ✌️
