The idea behind the board
More than a game.
Chess teaches us to pause, plan, adapt, and keep going. Chess TYZ is rooted in the belief that those lessons matter well beyond the board.
Based in Trenton, New Jersey, the initiative connects chess with community and youth development. Whether you are just learning how the pieces move or have played for years, there is room to take part.
“Teaching life lessons to youth through chess.”
