Basically it is a channel for beginners to intermediate players, i.e. USCF 0-1500+. I will need your help to get more subscribers. My first goal is 1000 subscribers. You can help with one-click subscibing which takes 3 seconds. If you have friends who are interested in chess or who want to learn chess, please help forward my channel to them. That will be even more helpful to all of us. https://www.youtube.com/c/AndyDong_princetonchessacademy https://tinyurl.com/k652kpfh or the QR code below. Thank you!  |
