The Big Chair Chess Club, located in Washington, DC, is a non-profit organization dedicated to teaching inner city children and adults the power of thinking before making a move, both on the chessboard and in life. Through the game of chess, they aim to empower individuals to make better choices and achieve their dreams, while also instilling valuable life skills.
Founded by Eugene Brown, who turned his life around after experiencing trouble in his youth and spending time in prison, the club uses chess as a tool to help others recognize the consequences of their actions and make positive changes. By teaching children at a young age, the Big Chair Chess Club believes they can inspire them to reach their full potential and avoid a similar path. The club takes its name from the iconic Big Chair landmark in Anacostia, symbolizing the club's mission to make a big impact in the community.
