About Keith This project starts with one kid taking his own brain seriously

I built StormChess to keep track of the things I'm learning.

Chess changes how my brain works. It helps me settle down and think more clearly. So I made a website where I could put my experiments, my lessons, my music, and my art all in one place.

Who I Am

This is my website, and I made it about the things I really love.

Hi, I’m Keith. I really like chess, and I also like learning, drawing, writing, music, and teaching other kids. I wanted one place where I could put all of that together.

StormChess is not supposed to feel like some giant company website. It’s supposed to feel like me.

My Vision

I want chess to help kids feel stronger, calmer, and more confident.

Chess helps my brain slow down and focus. It helps me think ahead and notice patterns. I wanted to make a website that shows how chess can help other kids too.

I want StormChess to feel fun, safe, real, and friendly, like a place where kids and families can learn without all the weird noisy stuff.

Values

What guides the work

Clarity first

Instructions are broken into understandable pieces so kids always know what to do next.

Safety matters

No noisy ad patterns, no risky social features, and no design choices that treat kids like traffic.

Joyful repetition

Practice works better when the structure feels warm, predictable, and worth returning to.

About Keith

I do a lot of different stuff, and I wanted it all in one place.

I play chess, teach other kids, make digital art, do experiments, and write stories. In my brain, all of those things kind of go together.

That is why this site has a bunch of different pages. It is not me trying to act like a company. It is just me putting my things in one spot.

Book

An Unexpected Trip to Rote

I wrote and illustrated An Unexpected Trip to Rote when I was seven. I wanted to keep it here too because chess is not the only thing I like making.

ISBN: 9798312477177

Why I wanted this here

I did not want this site to only show one part of me.

The book, the music, the graphs, the classroom ideas, and the chess notes all came from me, so I wanted them to stay together.

I think the site feels more real when it shows all of it instead of pretending I only do one thing.
