So you may have noticed I haven't announced the usual monthly leaderboard contest.. As I mentioned in a previous post, I think interacting with the community is rewarding enough on its own. So there will be no June contest. BUT... I also said there would be a giveaway for those who survived the purge... Over 1300 members removed, but you're still here 💪 Congrats on surviving. I want to reward you for being an active member with a giveaway. Here's how it works: Drop a comment on this post to go into the draw to win a free 1 hour 1 on 1 call with me. And to make things interesting... ***The comment with the LOWEST number of likes wins*** The person with the least liked comment at 6:30pm AEST on the 8th of June will win the prize. You can comment multiple times, but DO NOT SPAM (or you might get kicked) Good luck

We got a pretty positive response when I announced this change, which I was glad to see. It took me over 2 hours, but I got it done. And we are now down from 2000+ to 860 members. So if you're still here, congratulations - you've made it past the first culling phase. But there are still a bunch more inactive members that I still have to remove. Going forward I will also: - be more selective with who I let into the group - continue to kick inactive members regularly This is all part of my effort to raise the standard of this group and make it higher quality. I want to build a community that you'd like to live in. Kicking out 1000+ members wasn't fun, but the goal is to make this group a better place, especially for the committed players that are here. Thanks for your support! P.S. If you still haven't interacted in the group at all in the past month, there's a high chance you will get removed soon. So if you want to keep your spot here, go comment/post something if you haven't already.

As a reminder for our February Leaderboard Contest... - The top 3 on the leaderboard at the end of February win a free chess master ebook - #1 on the rankings also gets a free 1-on-1 coaching session with me If you're worried you won't make it, first of all there's still time to rise up the leaderboard! And also, there will be another leaderboard contest in March with even cooler prizes. So even if you miss out on February's prizes, you'll can win in March. Good luck!
