Coach Bill is National Master Bill Richards. NM Bill created the club in 2012 with the goal to help people reach their chess goals! NM Bill created video lessons, which can be found in our library, and always helped people in his club. Sadly, he passed away in 2020 during surgery. As party of his desire to spread chess, the club has been kept up and running to help people learn chess, for free!
Now, we focus on making improvement accessible to everyone by offering free video lessons, structured guidance, and opportunities to apply what you learn in real games. Members can participate in events, challenges, and discussions designed to build both understanding and confidence on the board.
Our goal is simple: to create a supportive environment where players can consistently improve, stay motivated, and enjoy the game of chess.
