On Saturday November 29th at 1pm US Central time, I will host a live-stream talk and Q&A with Peter Giannatos of the Charlotte Chess Center. Peter was very close with Daniel Naroditsky and has been instrumental in helping set up the Naroditsky Memorial Fund: givebutter.com/naroditsky
During the livestream, Peter will share more information about the fund and answer viewer questions. You can send me questions in advance at contact@imrosen.com.

In this Tricks and Traps Speedrun series, I try to climb the rating ladder while playing tricky and trappy openings, along with an ultra-aggressive style of chess. The goal is to not only entertain viewers, but provide lessons on a fun style of chess which can produce lots of quick wins, cool sacrifices, and brilliant moves.

Please note that I'm playing on an authorized Speedrun account on chess.com and all opponents who I beat will receive a rating refund.
