Chess Program and Team

Sponsors: Sgt. Tim Hayes and Shawn Baughman

Our program is led by Igor Zhislin, a former Ukrainian Student Champion and now a Professional Chess Teacher and Coach. He has a track record of building successful programs at several schools (including Central Magnet School’s National Championship Team). Coach Igor’s students have won local, regional, state and national championships. We would like to continue building a strong program, which would allow McFadden Chess Program and Team and its individual students to reach and exceed those accomplishments.
