I really liked this video, and I especially enjoyed seeing a current and a former student in the interviews.  This video gave me a taste of the SuperNationals, and it showed the enjoyment of the participants. I attended this Super National (my first time!) and it was truly a larger than life event.- GM Ben Finegold

“Fun video that interviews chess kids about their journey to SuperNationals. Inspiring stories! I’m happy to hear that these young men and women are starring in new chess documentaries, producing their own chess videos, and even creating chess camps to promote women in chess. The Scoop on SuperNationals illustrates how a new generation of chess players are contributing to build a better chess world.” Galen Pyle

Very nice video!  Really captures the energy and excitement of this tournament!  Loved the tight editing and background music, and fast pace.  Really nice!- Tim Brennan

Have you never attended a USCF Nationals?  After watching this 5-minute video, you will know what to expect.  The video features great interviews, fun personalities and an exciting atmosphere!- Michael Aigner

Scoop did an excellent video of the "Gens Una Sumus" of  the Super Nationals- Carla Heredia
