My son loves chess tournaments so much he cried when his first round opponent didn't show up. Here he is in round three. I treasure this for as long as it lasts!

In Junior High I almost quit chess because there were so few girls in the Philadelphia area who played. Today I spoke at an @PhillyASAP event with over 70 girls 🥰 Gorgeous location! @phillyseaport
