Recap: WCC Results, K-12 Nationals, Brew Wins First Place!

Hey ChessKids! These past few weeks have been pretty crazy!

As you may have already known, some of our team flew out to Dubai for the 2021 World Chess Championship face-off between GM Magnus Carlsen and GM Ian Nepomniachtchi. ChessKid 'Gold' features had been unlocked multiple times throughout the match as Carlsen went on a winning frenzy! Hope y'all enjoyed playing with 'Gold' while it lasted  

Carlsen and Nepo played a great match-- Congratulations!
