Thomas Harris

Thomas Harris harbors a profound passion for chess, a game he embraced at the tender age of eight. Initially, like many novices, his approach to the game lacked strategic depth, and victories were scarce. This all changed when his esteemed cousin, a seasoned player, shared invaluable insights and presented him with his first chess tactics book. This pivotal moment not only enriched his understanding but also ignited a fervent pursuit of excellence in the realm of chess. It wasn’t long before Thomas found himself competing in tournaments under the auspices of the United States Chess Federation (USCF), showcasing his honed skills and strategic prowess.

A native of Washington D.C., Thomas’s academic and professional journey led him to the vibrant city of Atlanta, where he has resided since completing his studies at Morehouse College in 1988. Holding a degree in psychology, Thomas brings a unique perspective to the game, intertwining psychological principles with chess strategies, which enhances his mentoring approach. Beyond the chessboard, Thomas is an entrepreneur with diverse business interests, demonstrating his versatility and commitment to excellence in various endeavors.

As a mentor, Thomas is dedicated to nurturing the next generation of chess enthusiasts. Drawing from his rich experience and the profound lessons learned from his early mentors, he aims to instill not just the tactics but also the love for the game in his students. His journey from a young enthusiast to a seasoned competitor and mentor encapsulates his passion for chess and his dedication to sharing this passion with others.
