Shirley Contreras
Youth chess coach and mentor
- 🇺🇸 San Jose, California, United States
- San Jose Youth Club
- Since 1980
- English
For 46 years I've run the chess program at San Jose Youth Club in San Jose. We trained 2 evenings a week, whatever the weather.
Winning was never the point, though I won't pretend I didn't enjoy it. I never raise my voice.
If we met, say hello. I'd love to know how life turned out.
More about Shirley
Some of my former players now coach their own teams, which is the best thank-you I could ask for.
What gifts mean to Shirley: I'll put any gifts toward a small fund so no child misses a match because of money.
