The Beautiful Game

My name is Brian. I'm just a regular guy in Los Angeles.

I began learning the game of chess about a year ago or so. I'm not a great player. I can hold my ground, but I lose more games than I win. A dream of mine is to someday win a title: National Master, International Master, etc. But I doubt it'll happen.

Regardless, I am very passionate about the beautiful game of chess. I work at a Boys & Girls Club and this summer I began my own chess class. The kids loved it and it was very successful.

I love where I'm going with this game. I want to introduce it to as many youth as I can, because I believe this game can change lives. I believe I can change lives through chess.

You don't have to be a master to be passionate for the game. Because at the end of the day it is passion that pushes you forward.
