Get ready for an exciting chess showdown! I'm hosting my second FREE Arena Blitz Tournament on chess.com, and you're invited to compete for a chance to win a $10 Amazon gift card!
---It's easy to join the fun:
I'm currently funding the $10 prize myself, but I'm always looking to grow the prize fund for future tournaments! If you're interested in donating to help offer larger prizes, please reach out to me.
---Beyond the chessboard, I recently crocheted 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 chess and crochet.
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 connections or ideas for displaying or auctioning the scarf, please contact me!

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?
