What's up
I'm Will, a 21-year-old Cornell math student training to become Chessboxing World Champion. I grew up playing chess with my dad and started going to tournaments in high school. I started training boxing when I got to Cornell, and had a fight this past May.
I'm not a world-level boxer or chess player (~1900 OTB), but I am pretty good at both, so chessboxing is the perfect sport for me since it requires sharp thinking, physicality, and the ability to stay calm under pressure.
I'm training to win, and your support will help me cover plane tickets, hotel costs, and training expenses.
I have been documenting my journey to the world championships, so click the links below to follow along.
