Chess

By Hamzeh A, Jordan L, and Esteban C (from last year)

The game of chess is tough to learn. The good thing is there are a lot of places where you can play chess and learn. One of my favorite places to learn and play is this website. this can help you out a lot when wanting to learn how to play and there is also a quick puzzle that you could do that could make you better at chess than your family or friends. Also, there are lessons you can take weekly. Did you know the best player in chess (Magnus Carlson) started playing when he was 5 years old!!!!



He is 1st place on this website

Magnus Carlson has 5 world cup championship titles he is so talented when it comes to playing chess. He even won a game with 30 seconds left!! Magnus is not born in the USA he was born in Norway but surprisingly he speaks English. Do you know who Hikaru is? he is popular for being good at chess he streams on twitch and he is good at pre-moving his opponents. (pre-moving means that he moved a piece before it was his turn.) He also pre-moved Magnus Carlson and it went viral!!!. 



You might have seen it if you were on social media. He is also one of the richest chess players with 1.3 million dollars. He made all that money from his streaming platforms on twitch and more people like gifting him money when he is streaming. And it let him gain a lot of money. Chess can even be more fun when you play against your friends but overall chess is fun to learn now you are able to become better if you read all this and click the link.
