"Courtney McSpadden’s chess program is exceptional in both quality and impact. He has the unique ability to work with children at all skill levels—introducing beginners with no prior experience while also coaching more advanced players (youth and adults) to strengthen their strategic thinking. I have personally observed him engage children as young as five, guiding them to confidently set up boards and participate in matches with their peers in formal and social settings. His dedication to the program is evident, but even more meaningful is his genuine commitment to the well-being, growth, and confidence of each participant."
