Meet Keith
The guide behind the kingdom
Keith built StormChess to turn chess into a calm, structured, imagination-rich space for autistic and neurodivergent kids. The goal is not just stronger tactics. It is stronger confidence, focus, and joy.
"When a child learns to pause, notice patterns, and make one brave move at a time, the board becomes a training ground for real life."
