Chess-Haiti fundraiser and more!

This is Lauren here!
1) We will be putting on a chess-Haiti fundraiser where you will be able to play us for a good cause! We will play five minute chess games against the public. The suggestion donation to play Barbara or me is $5. Since this is fast (blitz) chess, it will also be very entertaining for people to watch.
All of the money will go to UNICEF to aid Haiti's children.
This fundraiser will be on Saturday and Sunday, March 20th and March 21. It will be from 10am to around 4-5pm both days.
The fundraiser will be on 202 University Ave, Palo Alto. It's next to Pizza My Heart.
We also plan to film some games and the overall event to make a video for their next episode.

2) Daniel Naroditsky!
We interviewed Daniel, who is so talented in chess, in our second episode. He is a Fide master now! He recently wrote a published book, "Mastering Positional Chess" and now you can buy it online! Click here to check it out.
His new personal website is: http://www.danielnaroditsky.com/

3) Episode #9. We are getting ready for this. We will have a lot of unique stuff.

Episode #9 postponed

Hi everybody,
Episode #9 is postponed. We should produce it sometime this year.
Cheers,
Lauren and Barbara

Chess Diva episode #8 is produced!

Hey there, it's Barbara!

Episode 8 was produced last week.
Lauren and I think this episode is our best yet ever, better
than the award winning episode 6!

The three surprises really made our
show awesome.

See our surprises:

1. Meet United States president's Barack Obama's classmate from Harvard University!
Really! No joke!

2. Watch Barbara juggle and unicycle at the same time! This
new way of focusing enabled her to win more chess games.
Unicyling and juggling at the same time is challenging, yet very fun!

3. Watch Musical chess! See how chess relates to music!
The chess squares are musical notes too! Listen to a song
on the chess board.

These three unique surprises are very interesting and fun to watch!


As usual, the first 10 minutes of the show is chess instruction.
Learn about the Scholar's and Smother checkmates! Also, visit two California chess clubs.

Lauren should post the episode up hopefully next week, so please be patient.

Get ready for Episode #8

Hi everyone!
Our next episode of "Chess Diva" is coming up soon!!

In episode #8, there will be a lot of video clips and special guests.
I'm currently editing the video footage right now.
We plan to produce the show in August.

There will a lot of surprises on this episode.

Episode #8

Hi everybody!
We have been very busy!!
Barbara and I are also getting footage for episode #8.
If you have any suggestions or new ideas for this episode, please let us know!
A couple days ago for volunteer community service, I taught a blind person how to play chess.
I also got to play against other people too.
It was a very rewarding experience!

Happy Holidays and episode #8 update

Barbara and I wish you a very happy and safe holiday!

A couple days ago, we filmed at the Burlingame Chess Club for episode #8.
It was a great success! We interviewed club members and filmed players focusing on their game.

We will also have another video clip in this episode regarding chess and music.

If you have any more ideas for episode #8, feel free to e-mail us!

The actual production of the show will take place in March 2009.
