The Early Days

For us, chess was much more than just pieces on a board—it was about building community and fostering inclusivity. We began our chess journey in 2018 in Paulding County, Georgia, with the vision of creating a vibrant, welcoming chess community. We believed that true mastery of the game came from sharing its beauty and creating an environment where everyone feels encouraged to explore and grow.

Many people shied away from chess because of common misconceptions—they thought it was only for the highly intellectual or unusually patient. We were passionate about breaking down those barriers by using tailored teaching methods that made chess both accessible and enjoyable for all learners. Over the years, we saw how chess could be truly transformative, and we worked to refine our approach to help spark that same excitement in others.

The feedback from our local community spoke volumes—chess helped build self-confidence, self-discipline, and resilience. Our goal was to move beyond traditional instruction and help revolutionize how chess was taught and experienced, making it a tool for connection, growth, and empowerment.
