♛♖♙🎉😊 Hi! I'm Lauren Goodkind, a chess coach, and author based in California, and I'm driven by a mission to promote chess.

Read the article that Chess.com recently wrote about me about my coaching and my awesome World Record 501 feet (not a typo) chess scarf: https://www.chess.com/article/view/coach-of-the-month-lauren-goodkind

Interested in chess lessons? I give in-person and virtual chess lessons. Check out my website: www.ChessByLauren.com

I've also written two beginner chess books, available on Amazon.com, such as "Queen For A Day: The Girl's Guide To Chess Mastery." This book was endorsed by WGM Jennifer Shahade, WGM Jennifer Yu, and other chess masters! Here’s the link: https://www.amazon.com/Queen-Day-Girls-Guide-Mastery/dp/0578504480/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=lauren+goodkind&qid=1580506240&s=books&sr=1-1

My dedication to chess was recognized with a Meritorious Services award from the United States Chess Federation in August 2021. You can see the article about it: https://new.uschess.org/news/2021-us-chess-annual-awards
