Hi everyone!  My name is Lauren Goodkind and I'm a well established chess teacher based in California.  

Play in my next FREE monthly online chess tournament on Saturday, April 29th at 10am PST. This tournament is for players who are rated below chess.com's 1800 rating.

The tournament is 5 rounds and the time control is G/10. That means one game can last 20 minutes.

First place wins a $20 Amazon.com gift card! 

To play, join my chess.com club: https://www.chess.com/club/chess-by-lauren

In addition, if you play, I'll analyze at least one of your chess games for free on my Youtube livestream.  

This is a great way to get better in chess.

1800 and below aren't "beginners"

Free money is free money. So what if it insults people who are not beginners who are 1800 and below.

I don't like the idea of beginner chess tournaments somehow, feels too exploitable by the more experienced players.

I'm 800 and I assumed (before reading the post) that I was too high for a "beginners" tourney. 1800?!?
