Qualified for @EWC_EN after finishing 3rd at @DreamHack Atlanta: Road to EWC! 🏆♟️
A completely different experience from traditional chess: loud crowds, white-noise headsets, no-increment rapid games, and an electric esports atmosphere.

A rare treat for any researcher: being asked to talk about their work 🙂
It was a real honor to be interviewed by the Chess Equity Project about my job market paper: How Men and Women Respond to Failure: Evidence from Chess Tournaments.

A massive congratulations to Team USA! 🇺🇸
Winning a world title is always special—but bringing home two at the FIDE World Senior Teams Chess Championships in the 50 division is something extraordinary. Both the U.S. Open and Women’s teams stood at the top of the podium.
An unforgettable achievement and a proud moment for U.S. chess!
