THE GIFT OF CHESS
The Gift of Chess plants a simple, powerful tool into places that need a new way to think. We distribute boards, run beginner-to-advanced coaching, stage community tournaments, and pair students with mentors so chess becomes a practice of foresight, patience, and quiet confidence. Far from a pastime, the board becomes a classroom for strategic thinking—helping kids, returning citizens, and community leaders learn to anticipate, sacrifice wisely, and make steady progress toward bigger goals. The aim is plain: teach people to see their next move.
