Executive Director

Yair Galaganov is a junior at Trimble Tech High School and has played chess for over a decade. Yair finds chess to be common ground among all people as anyone despite their age or background can play. His mission with the organization is to bring the Fort Worth community together to rediscover the joy of chess. Despite being a high schooler, he continues to balance chess with his academics. Yair hopes to have the chess club outlast himself and stay in Fort Worth for years to come.
