I learned a lot from International Master John Bartholomew during his chess simultaneous exhibition and Q&A session yesterday at the L.E. Phillips Public Library. Thank you to him and to the Eau Claire Chess Club for organizing the event!

Being new to this platform, I want to highlight a major event I was a part of with the Menard Center for Constitutional Studies. Last year, I moderated a discussion with human rights advocate & former world chess champion Garry Kasparov. We discussed free speech, democracy, global politics, & chess.
