Sosnick Chess is a 501(c)(3) organization that was 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 tournament that offers a variety of events, including lectures by a Grandmaster, simultaneous play, and multiple tournament options. 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.
