We are thrilled to introduce our new business manager, Jeff Shen, a local tournament director and lifelong chess enthusiast. As a dedicated scientist, Jeff brings analytical expertise and a deep appreciation for strategy to our chess program. He is also the proud father of a former CCL student, giving him a personal connection to our mission of nurturing young talent. With his passion for chess, commitment to the community, and vision for inspiring young minds, Jeff is ready to lead our program into an exciting new chapter.
This is part of our plan to have a community-run CCL specifically structured to meet the community's needs. Starting January 1, we will be functionally running CCL v.2. We still have some paperwork to do, which could drag on for a few months, but we will be operating as the new CCL! I plan to document everything on this website by January 1, our official kickoff day.
