Lending a hand to Chess Clubs across the country


I love chess and I strongly believe in the benefits of chess for people of all ages, especially children. That is why I opened my own Polgar Chess Center in Queens, New York nearly ten years ago.

The second Polgar Chess Center was opened last year in Corpus Christi, Texas and it is thriving.

If you know of a local chess club that needs help or if you live in an area that does not have a chess club (general or scholastic chess club) and you want to do something to help, please let me know. Perhaps I can give you some ideas or help you in one way or another.

Let's work together for the benefits of chess, one area at the time!
