WGM Katerina Nemcova is the 2 time\xa0 Women\u2019s Champion of the Czech Republic and the winner of the 2008 European Youth Chess Championship. She now resides in the U.S. and is a frequent competitor in the US Women\u2019s Championships, and has played for the Olympiad teams of both the U.S. and the Czech Republic. Katerina is also quite busy away from the chessboard, as she \xa0has a BA and a Masters, and\xa0 is currently getting a Ph. D. in Communications at the University of Arizona. Katerina also finds time to teach chess classes, and is a regular and beloved lecturer for US Chess Women\u2019s "Girl's Club" Zoom series of classes.
