The Gift of Chess leverages the transformative power of chess by providing our youth with access to their very own chess technology, a physical chess set, and inclusion into a vibrant chess community. With access to chess technology, every child will have an equal opportunity to learn chess. Equipped with their own set, each child will be able to share the game of chess within their local communities. With the support of a vibrant online community, players can push each other to reach new heights. Each summer, using metrics derived from our assigned technology, students will have the opportunity to earn access to in-person training, providing an incentive for students to work hard throughout the year and our most engaged students access to physical training opportunities where they can reach their full potential. By learning chess, along with its transferable life skills, all children can make a positive impact on their communities and the world.
