Awesome to see so much activity here.

I’m grateful for another opportunity to support ChessVibes.

I’ve told the story before but want to relay again; I started a chess club at my local library to find people to casually play with. I’m military stationed overseas and wanted to get back into a game I enjoyed when I was younger. At the first meeting of my club, only children showed up, and suddenly I was a chess teacher. I’m an average player, and was not prepared to teach. I found ChessVibes and have, in my own words, been relaying the free YT content. I also refer every student and parent to the channel. ChessVibes also continues to greatly improve my own game. I now have around 20 regular students. We’re organizing our second annual tournament, we have built relationships with local German chess clubs and have had some guest teachers and students from the area, and we’ve even been able to raise funds to support chess in Zambia through the IRFF. I’m also on my own journey to become FIDE rated and become a more qualified teacher. My club has received a lot of thanks and praise and I can’t stress enough that its all built on a foundation that ChessVibes provided.

Sorry for the long post. Thank you Nelson, for such great content
