I am Powell Walker, a professional chess player from the Salt Lake City area. I have been playing chess since I was 8 years and throughout my chess career, I have enjoyed many championships and titles, including the International Youth Chess Championship title in 2016 and several Arizona State championships. I have even had the opportunity to play Magnus Carlsen! I have learned from Grandmaster Alex Yermolinsky, and have had the privilege of learning and working for Chess.com, CCO Danny Rensch.
I have a passion for playing chess and want to share my love for the game with competitors in Utah. Recently, I formed the company, PowerChess, LLC to create learning opportunities for students in Salt Lake City area schools, teach in person and online chess lessons, and to host over the board tournaments.
