I just discovered I have qualified to represent my state (which in my case isn't really a state) in the Denker Highschool Chess Tournament! This is the biggest tournament I have ever qualified for(actually the first I have ever qualified for). I love chess and I really find it fun playing it and now I get this badass title as the official high school chess champion for Washington, DC! I doubt I have a legit chance of winning this thing as the main reason I won for DC is because the chess scene is so tiny here but who knows, Giri beat Carlsen and at least I have a shot at being national high school chess champion.
PS. Would anyone be interested in a chess stream? Just me playing some online games, maybe a bit of strategy discussion and such.

Awesome! We have a lot of very strong chess players on TL. Maybe we can even run a TL tourny lol. I would play more chess, but I think queens are OP and need to be nerfed.

Ng5's chess stream, when running, is pretty popular here, I could see another chess stream working out well.
I enjoy Starcraft when I'm not too busy being dynamic and attractive.

LoL queens OP? Personally Bishops are the sneakiest, dirtiest most annoying piece. And a inter-tl chess tournament would be sooo much fun!

Oh wow... that's interesting. If you need a quick chess practice partner, I would love to have a match with you and test your chess skills enough to be the HS chess champion!!

And about my most notable chess skill...

+ Show Spoiler +
I once beat a MIT graduate 2-1 in bo3....


That shouldn't scare you... should it?

hahahaha nice. My little brother is a top player in NC as a freshman (rated 2000+), so hopefully he can make Denker pretty soon. I used to play chess but I gave up once my brother got better than me -_- so I never made it beyond 1300 or so lol. I did beat a 1570 once though >_>

Wow 2000+ as a freshmen. See I am only 1700 so the only reason I am in this is because I live in DC and there is literally 10 other decently ranked chess players.
