Photos of my chess journey

Chess taught me the importance of patience. Without patience, you'll make moves that are not precise, and you'll lose the game because you are not thinking through your moves. When I was in third grade, seeing how pieces moved also taught me how to better understand math concepts like “area,” which helped me think strategically and in steps.

My very first chess tournament!

Won lots of trophies during my years at Success Academy in NYC

Love Washington Square Park (NYC). I have been going there with my Dad to play from 6yrs old

Nashawn taught me a lot in my early days of playing.

Love playing against Cornbread. I enjoy his trash talking!
