The 2nd annual Chess Angels Memorial was a very special tournament. I’m very excited to share this post from the Orlando Chess Club because it shows what chess means to so many of us and how it connects us to something bigger than just ourselves.

I’m proud to have competed with several of my students from Noble Knights Chess Academy and a couple members from the Lake Nona Chess Club at yesterday’s 2nd Annual Orlando Chess Open.
Everyone fought bravely regardless of the result. When you think about it this means everything!
