Founder & Events Manager

National Tournament Director FIDE National Arbiter

Myron became fascinated with chess as a teenager after reading Chess in a Nutshell by Fred Reinfeld. In high school he joined the chess club and played casually. After a long absence due to college and starting a family, he picked up the game again after becoming a chess parent. He began playing tournament games, volunteering at tournaments and later became a tournament director and organizer. Myron has directed numerous events, including Chief Tournament Director of the 2022 National Elementary Championship and 2018 National High School Championship. He also serves on several US Chess governance committees. 

Myron's favorite part of chess is its ability to bring together players of different ages and backgrounds. "I believe everyone should have the opportunity to play their best game."
