This friendly match will feature players playing as many games of hand and brain chess as they can over the course of 90 minutes.

Harvard vs. ChessKid match format

Hand and brain chess is a chess variant in which each color is played by two people, with one of them (the 'brain') announcing the piece they want to move, and the other person (the 'hand') then deciding where to move the piece.

This fun variant can lead to some crazy situations, as the 'hand' and the 'brain' try to stay on the same wavelength. It's not only about talent and tactics but also teamwork!

Harvard vs. ChessKid match hosts

Covering all the action will be IM Kassa Korley and Collegiate Chess League Commissioner Joe Lee.

Be sure to join ChessKid on Twitch or watch ChessTV on November 15 for this fun and exciting match-up!
