I've coached chess at Kobe Boxing Gym since 2000. Most of my players were between 9 and 17, and a lot of them turned into friends for life.
Winning was never the point, though I won't pretend I didn't enjoy it. I play music while people worked.
If you remember me, I'd love to hear from you.

What gifts mean to Saki: A gift would go toward kit and bus fares for kids who can't afford them.
