Happy Holidays from ChessKid!

Hey ChessKid readers!

The holidays are in full swing over at ChessKid! On Monday, we hosted a special episode--and Queen Elsa joined us!

At first, we wanted to keep her identity under wraps. Now, the cat's out of the bag: it's Elena Gratskaya! Elena is from Russia but now lives in Atlanta. She is the former Women's Champion for the state of Georgia. She's a strong chess player, and also an actress. She'll be joining us in the coming year for a few more shows. Look out for more of her character performances!

A holiday gift to you: we rushed the Queen Elsa episode onto the ChessKid website so that you could enjoy it this week. Click here to watch the full video!

Looking Back

To our ChessKid family: we've been through a lot together, from this year to last.

• We tried to bring ChessKid around the world, first physically, then digitally and through translation
• We made the move with you to virtual education as the COVID-19 pandemic restructured the way we educate our children
• We connected the ChessKid community nationally & internationally through a series of past/upcoming tournaments with FIDE and US Chess

Over at ChessKid, we are SO grateful for the love, support, and community of our teachers, coaches, parents, and students. Through the ups and downs, you've stuck with us. We look forward to seeing what 2021 has in store. We have some surprises up our sleeve, and we think you'll be happy about them!
