Our daughter, Tali, started playing chess at just 3 years old, learning the basic piece movements during our family playtime together. It began as a simple activity, but quickly became something special—filled with love, curiosity, and connection.

By the time Tali turned 6, her interest in chess grew stronger. When she turned 7, we found a local chess club where she could meet and play with other kids who shared the same passion. Tali officially joined the club on January 24, 2024.

In September 2024, she entered her first chess tournament—and that was the start of an exciting journey into competitive chess.

We’re so proud of Tali and everything this journey is shaping her to be.

Win or learn—never lose.

Thank you for following along and supporting Tali’s chess adventure!
