ABOUT US

I was trying to look for an alternative to psychiatric drugs to deal with my anxiety, and self-confidence issues. I remember back in elementary school where they tried to put me on drugs in order to cure my anger issues and nothing ever worked! I have gone through a period of self discovery over the last 15 years and noticed that one game keeps coming back and gives me the feeling of "CHAMPION"! Every time I won a game, I always felt a new sense of power, hope, and energy. It was chess! Since then, I have been a tireless advocate of using chess as a tool to help those who suffer from anxiety, depression and self-confidence issues without resorting to drugs! Come on a journey with me and let my story guide you toward the future you have always wanted and let psychiatric drugs be a thing of the past!
