We're Eugene and Michael, the founders of NYC Chess Connections, and we're thrilled you're interested in learning more about chess. Chess has been a transformational force in our lives, and we founded this organization in 2019 with the mission of making the game available to all students. NYCCC has provided opportunities to dozens of tutors and students thus far, and these numbers continue to grow every day. We're glad you're here.
Welcome to the NYCCC community!
