This is the Zoom link (and the password is Smile). I will be online 10 minutes before to help with technical difficulties
There will be 20-25 players. Currently, 13 students are signed up.
✏️ TO REGISTER: Reply to this email with your intention to play.
Do you know other children that want to play? Have them join as well. If you can’t make this month’s tournament, don’t worry—we have them monthly (though June will be skipped, as I will be traveling).
👓 TO (JUST) WATCH: On Zoom link, we will be solving live puzzles from everybody’s games. Last time, we found the best moves in others’ games (“how does one win a piece here?” “How do you checkmate?").
▶️ TO PLAY:

Sign up using the JOIN button in the top right
On the day of the tournament, have the link open. Your games will start automatically, shortly after some announcements.
