The first peek into the Xtreme Chess Championships is for my USCF blog readers! The eight-player made-for-TV knockout championship features young talents Alex Barnett, Alena Kats, Kassa Korley, Elliott Liu, Shawn Martinez, Alisa Melekhina, Kevin Wang & Justus Williams, hosts Greg Shahade and Kacie Marie with commentary by me and Jonathan Corbblah.
