Get ready, chess fans! I'm thrilled to announce my third FREE Arena Blitz Tournament on Chess.com, and you're officially invited to battle it out for an exciting prize. This isn't just any tournament – because last month's event was canceled, I'm doubling the prize!
That's right, instead of the usual $10, the first-place winner will receive a $20 Amazon gift card! Mark your calendars and prepare for some fast-paced chess action.
Joining is super easy and just two steps away:
I currently fund the $10 prize myself, but I'm always looking for ways to grow the prize fund for future tournaments. If you're interested in donating to help offer even larger prizes, please feel free to reach out to me!
Beyond the chessboard, I recently completed a monumental project: one of the world's longest scarves! This black and white masterpiece weighs 75 pounds and stretches over 500 feet. My dream is to display it publicly to inspire others in both the chess and crochet communities.
I'm also exploring options to auction this unique scarf with a non-profit. If it sells for $300,000, I'd be thrilled to donate at least 10% ($30,000 minimum) to support their vital work. If you have any connections or ideas for displaying or auctioning the scarf, please contact me!
I can't wait to see you on the virtual chessboard!

On another note, Did you know I recently crocheted one of the world's longest scarfs? My black and white beauty weighs 75 pounds and stretches over 500 feet! My dream is to find a public space, like a museum or airport, to display it and inspire others (both in chess and crochet!). I am also willing to sell the scarf too. If a non profit organization helps me sell the scarf, I will DONATE 2% of the proceeds to the non profit. Can you help me?
