About Me

Chess has been a constant thread in my life for many years. I’ve spent much of that time building and supporting local chess communities, helping clubs grow, thrive, and find their identity.My first major project was reviving Leeds Chess Club at a time when they no longer had a team in the league. Starting from scratch, I helped rebuild the club into what is now one of the largest and most active chess communities in Yorkshire.More recently, I founded Farsley Chess Club in Leeds. In just a short time, the club established itself as a strong competitor, finishing 3rd in Division 3 of the Leeds League. Although I’ve now moved to York and passed the leadership on, the club continues to flourish in a vibrant and supportive village.Now, I’m excited to begin a new chapter: creating a brand‑new chess club in Fulford. My goal is simple - to build another welcoming, ambitious community where players of all levels can enjoy the game, improve together, and feel part of something meaningful.
