The May 2019 edition of “Cover Stories with Chess Life” is now live! This monthly podcast, hosted by Senior Director of Strategic Communication Daniel Lucas, goes in depth and behind the scenes of each month’s Chess Life cover story. This month, we talk to WGM Tatev Abrahamyan about the her May Chess Life cover story on the inaugural Cairns Cup at the Saint Louis Chess Club. Tatev is also famous in the chess world for her love of penguins, so we surprise her with a penguin trivia quiz! Will she get 50% of the questions right to win a $50 gift certificate to US Chess Federation Sales for one of our loyal listeners? As the May issue is a special Women's issue, we also spend a lot of time talking about women in chess both nationally and internationally. “The Skittles Room” is our monthly segment in which we talk to people doing something interesting or of note within US Chess. This month we talk to our Creative Director Frankie Butler about the special work she did for this issue as well as the Women's Program logo she designed. And don’t miss your chance at winning a $50 gift certificate to USCFSales.com!
