Part of my weekly Saturday match series that benefits US Chess Women initiatives. A scary challenge to play against my Olympiad teammate FM/WGM Qiyu Zhou, a beast on the chess board, with commentary from the hilarious and educational GM Aman Hambleton. Drop a like and a comment, I’ll likely see it and do my best to reply.

WGM Qiyu Zhou will be doing a weekly viewer challenge show on my twitch channel Fridays around 3:30 ET. Come by and challenge her!
