Honors & awards

  • 2021

    The John Austin Teammate of the Year Award

    I received this award from my director, Justin Morrison, (also the owner and founder of the company I work for, Kid Chess) for my performance over the previous years, during the height of the pandemic. He was going to name the award the Zachary Bolton Teammate of the Year Award, but I asked him not to do so as I didn\'t want to create jealousy or awkwardness for my other teammates, given that they had been putting in an enormous amount of work and passion alongside me.
