When I started writing Dark Squares, I wasn’t expecting a feature in The New Yorker, but here we are! 🙌
Thanks @louisahthomas for this awesome article, link in stories!
We first chatted with International Master and @wwwchesscom ’s Chief Chess Officer @dannyrensch in November when he joined us to chat about his childhood growing up in the Church of Immortal Consciousness.
We had such a good time that when he made a book tour stop in Atlanta a few weeks ago, he invited Sarah to host the Q&A and even came over and played a little chess with our boys!
We also made some time to sit down for a live recording - which we’re sharing this week - where we talk more about his book Dark Squares: How Chess Saved My Life and the Netflix documentary Untold: Chess Mates, which covers the scandalous rivalry between grandmasters Magnus Carlsen and Hans Niemann.
You’ll also be able to watch this one on YouTube! Comment CHESS below to have the YouTube link sent to you directly!

At Future of Everything last week we took a deep dive with Andrew Beaton @andrewlbeaton on AI and the future of the game, then played a blindfolded match against NHL star Matt Barzal @barzal97 ! 👏
Huge thank you to Katherine Finnerty @kayfinn and her team for making this happen!
Had a blast at @wsjlive The Future of Everything this week! It was so special sharing Dark Squares with this awesome group of people!! Always so much fun working with the dream team @andrewlbeaton & @kayfinn
So awesome to catch the 5x TONY NOMINATED Chess The Musical cast again last night on Broadway, and the newest two themed bots just released on Chess.com! Congratulations, it's a great time to be a Chess the Musical fan! 🙌
