I'm a chess coach. I never went pro, but I got to see 1,580 kids fall in love with the game.
Winning was never the point, though I won't pretend I didn't enjoy it. I stayed late on Thursdays for anyone who needed it.

I still keep the team photo from our best season on the wall.

What gifts mean to Kai: I'll put any gifts toward a small fund so no child misses a match because of money.
