Aloha from the President of the Hawaii Chess Federation.  The root words of aloha are alo (face contact/presence) and ha (shared breath).  Chess players worldwide are unified by our enthusiasm to sit quietly and patiently with one another, sharing presence and breath (aloha) as we contemplate the profound mysteries of a complex universe of just  64 squares. The FIDE motto says it well: Gens una sumus (we are one people). 

I organize and direct in-person tournaments for K-12 students, as well as tournaments and matches at Chess.com.  I coach other chess coaches to start and build their school programs and to become tournament directors.

Human dignity is more important than winning. I will never cheat my opponents and ask the same of them. Cheating is an insult to Caissa. 

My proud moments as a life-long amateur chess enthusiast:

Hablo español.

Ego legere potest aliquam Latine.

Ich spreche kein deutch.

Я не понимаю этих слов.

الخط العربي جميل جدا! أتمنى أن أتمكن من قراءته.

Makemake au e ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi.
