Sosnick Chess is a 501(c)(3) organization founded in memory of Stephen Sosnick, a passionate chess player and professor at UC Davis. Our mission is to honor his legacy by promoting and advancing the game of chess.

We host an annual weekend festival featuring a variety of events, including two one-day tournaments, lectures, and game analysis by a Grandmaster, and simultaneous play. 

Sosnick Chess is committed to providing a welcoming and inclusive environment for chess enthusiasts of all ages and skill levels. Our events are designed to encourage the growth and development of the chess community while honoring Stephen Sosnick's love for the game.
