NOTE: Yesterday I posted the incorrect link for the Knight Shift. It took you to the video and not the page with the quiz. To take the quiz go HERE. You do not have to, but you do not get points for the video if you do not do the quiz as well.
Thank you for joining us today. Please remember to click on both the links for “JOIN TOURNAMENT” and “Blitz Tournament” in your group assignments every day to join the tournaments. If you do not join them in advance then you cannot play. Be sure to pay attention after you finish your first game because the next round begins right after everyone has completed the first round.
All the chess problems listed are extra. You do not have to do all the problems in one day, or even do them at all. They are meant to fill in time if you happen to finish an assignment and are waiting for the next event to begin.

The two lessons on NM Derek Wu and IM Josiah Stearman are more difficult than most of the other lessons assigned. You are only supposed to watch the introductions to learn about our guests before they do their Q & A sessions tomorrow. If you would like to watch the entire lesson and attempt the quiz you are welcome to, but it is not required.
