ChessKid Event Descriptions:
Beat FunMasterMike
Beat FunMasterMike is a recurring ChessKid segment where ChessKids get to challenge the FunMaster! In order to compete make sure to send a friend request to him before the show and then challenge him to a 5-minute game during the show. Past episodes are here.
FunMasterMike and the BrewMaster
FunMasterMike and the BrewMaster is a show with two co-hosts. First is the veteran face of ChessKid, FunMasterMike, and his dated movie references from the 80s and 90s. And then there's the young American talent NM Brewington Hardaway, the top-rated 10-year-old in the United States. Watch and see FunMasterMike's "dad jokes" and become part of the "Brew Crew" as you see how Brewington became a chess master at only ten year old (six years earlier than FunMasterMike!).
FunMasterMike and the TiCher
FunMasterMike and the TiCher is another recurring ChessKid segment, featuring 10-year-old Ukrainian prodigy Tihon Chernyaev. During this episode, the dynamic duo talk about each other's games, play Hand and Brain, and have some fun with their contrasting playing styles! Do you play more like FunMasterMike or more like the TiCher? Past episodes are here.
Mighty Monthly Matchups
The first Tuesday of every month we will hold a special tournament with commentary from FunMasterMike! This is like a monthly championship for all ChessKids! The winner will receive a video analysis of their best game from FunMasterMike himself.
Home from School Tournaments
Make sure you are a member of ChessKid Official Club to sign up. The winner will receive a video analysis of their best game with FunMasterMike!
From Branch to Branch
After seven years, IM David Pruess (the PlayfulSquirrel) is reviving his beloved weekly show! Join if you're a kid aged 5-12. If you're a parent, sleep in on Saturday mornings while your children enjoy this fun chess programming. The show is a variety show, with lessons, exercises, puzzles, blitz, and chit-chat.
Fast Chess with the BrewMaster
National Master Brewington Hardaway is playing Fast Chess with the brave challengers of ChessKid.com! His CK account is "BrewMaster" -- make sure to send him a friend request to be able to challenge him! To keep up with his schedule join the club "Official Brew's Crew." Brewington is known as the top-rated 10-year-old in the country (actually, he recently turned 11!).
