Our vision
The Gift of Chess aims to expand the universal language of chess, creating opportunity and connections through giving access to a physical chess set, educational chess technology, and inclusion into a supportive chess community.
Equipped with a chess set and access to chess technology, we can enjoy the equal opportunity to learn chess and cultivate the life skills it provides.
With the support of a vibrant community, we can push each other to reach new heights.
Chess is the great equalizer, a shared universal language that can help expand opportunities for all! Chess breaks down barriers and facilitates connection across age, race, gender and socioeconomic status. Heads of state can sit across the chessboard from children from the slum communities and be perfectly equal.
Join us as we transform lives through the power of chess - one set, one game, one life - at a time.
Join us as a builder as we distribute 1,000,000 chess sets globally by 2030.
