U.S. Chess Mates - Expeience
Our founder has been playing chess since he was 4 years old. Learning from his father he continued his chess
education, winning school tournaments and club tournaments until he began teaching chess at the age of 18 here in
Fremont, CA.
He started under Chess Expert Riley Hughes and has worked and played with some of California's best chess players.
Some of those chess players include:
When Steven was 20 years old he was voted on the Board of Cal-Chess (A non-profit organization that represents the
USCF in Northern California.). He continued to serve on that board until the board was plagued by dis honest business
owners of other Bay Area Chess Companies.
In 2004 Our founder moved from the Bay Area and extended their chess operation to over 30 schools outside of the
Bay Area. Now returning to the Bay Area in 2008 Steven has found his program has been doing well and is
expanding do to his great leadership and focus on customer relations and his personal attention to every child he
meets.
Steven is also a Tournament Director under the USCF and has started holding rated tournaments for their students.
Steven has also helped plan and execute one of the largest tournaments in California the Cal-Chess tournament
held in Santa Clara every Spring.
