Our Leadership

The Faces Behind Every Move.

Meet the coaches, community leaders, and chess advocates who govern Day & Knight Chess Club — shaping every program, tournament, and partnership we build.

"I started Day & Knight because I believed chess could do more than teach strategy — it could build character, discipline, and real community. Every student who walks through our doors represents that belief in action."
