Welcome, fellow PuddleTown readers!
This is Zoey. I am the president and one of the head coaches of Puddletown Chess. I am so glad to be a part of this organization and to be able to spread the passion of chess throughout our beloved community. I hope that more people will be able to learn and grow from their experience with chess. It is, after all, a game with huge benefits in cognitive ability, pattern recognition, and more. Moreover, chess also teaches us the value of teamwork, improves our decision-making and risk management, and creates opportunities to meet new people.
Everyone deserves the chance to play chess. Young or old, male or female, rich or poor. Our goal is to serve communities with different needs: For players who want to improve their current chess level, we will provide tournaments and game analysis. For those struggling with financial resources, we will provide free chess lessons and other resources. And finally, chess is not a men’s game. Only about one in seventeen players are women, and our goal is to change that.
More than just our students at Puddletown Chess, our teachers (including myself) will be learning and growing as well. Interacting with other passionate chess-people and sharing ideas is a chess player’s dream come true. From this experience, I hope to improve how I express myself and communicate ideas to others in an easier way. Learning how to tailor myself best to my students’ needs will be a journey, but one with uncountable benefits. Join me on this adventure at Puddletown Chess!
