U.S. Chess Mission and Vision Spokesman!

I got a nice surprise yesterday—someone let me know that US Chess added a photo of me and my son, along with a short testimonial I wrote, to their official Mission and Vision page.

It means a lot to me. That part of the website focuses on the values behind the game—what chess can teach us, and the kind of impact it can have beyond just wins and losses. Over the years, I’ve come to appreciate those parts of the game more and more, especially as a parent and coach.

If you’d like to take a look, here’s the link:
