I'm the 2024 U.S. Senior Women's Chess Champion, a former CalState Women's Champion, and proud to represent Team USA at the Senior Chess Olympiad in Kraków (2024) and Prague (2025). Chess has been my lifelong passion—not just playing, but teaching and inspiring others to discover the joy of the game.

Together with my husband IM Rost Tsodikov we offer in-person chess classes in Danville, CA. For those outside the area, we also provide interactive online classes.
