Writing
Books: My first book, Chess Bitch: Women in the Ultimate Intellectual Sport, intertwined the stories of top women players with my own experiences on the international circuit. Check out the Philly Weekly review, the Foreword Magazine review or listen to the embedded WNYC Chess Bitch interview with Leonard Lopate. I recently contributed to a book on Marcel Duchamp and chess that is currently available on Francisnaumann.com and theartofchess.org.
