DC is well-known for its iconic Dupont Circle, a famous watering hole for chess. Many organizations such as WBL and the DC Chess Center attempt to serve the greater DC area, but Zahir has a goal to widen the outreach with his new initiative. Full Circle Chess will provide a service where others like James “Black Knight” Taylor and Eugene Brown’s “Big Chair Chess House have tried before.
