I am a Science Teacher and encourage our entire school to engage in the game of chess. I also teach and coach chess as well as play in tournaments.  I feel that I have brought a fresh and enthusiastic approach to the ICA and I hope to continue to bring chess to Idahoans for many years to come.

Jeff has held every office the ICA possesses and has been bringing chess to Idahoans since the early 1980s when he first became involved.  His passion and enthusiasm for chess enthralls members as we frequently listen to stories of players, tournaments, and other chess happenings.  He is full of history and strives to preserve all chess games of players in his efforts to digitally preserve Idaho chess history.

Eric is a welcome edition to the ICA.

Kyra has supported the ICA since coming to chess in 2022 and has been very active online at chess.com.  She also runs the Pawn Stars Chess Club in Meridian.

Jay is a longtime staple of the ICA and brings stability and professionalism to our organization.  One of the nicest chess players you will ever meet, he continues to support the ICA and tries to bring the great game to Idaho Falls and Pocatello areas.  He is an avid correspondence chess player and senior gamester.  His "thinking cap" will be utilized by the ICA far into the future.

Please contact us if you are interested in coordinating the South Central chess programs.
