    I’m pretty sure there’s like a 2500 rated GM prodigy who’s like 12 living in south Jersey. I wonder if he’d be allowed to participate to absolutely destroy everyone and get those tickets LOL

    I like these initiatives by players. Jarrett Allen back when he was on Nets conducted a STEM program for kids. It’s nice to see this.
