Meet Our Team

We are a registered 501(c)(3) public charity established in 2019 to expand the outreach for chess in education. Since children enjoy learning through game play, chess is a powerful educational tool for the development of intellectual and life skills. Motivated students thus gain skills for success in and beyond the classroom. These skills include but are not limited to: How to learn and master a new subject, How to build confidence while remaining humble and open-minded, How to deal with setbacks and pressure, How to manage one’s own emotional (and physical) state for sustained good performance, How to manage one’s time and energy, How to compete fairly and be respectful of the game and opponents.
