Evan Park was seven when he started playing chess; he still remembers the magic and passion the game brought to him at that time. Over the years, Evan’s love for chess has never dwindled: he plays, teaches, and reads about chess constantly. Sharing the joy of chess with people around the globe is one of his chief aspirations. Evan hopes to offer support to each and every player he can reach and to inspire happiness through chess. Outside of chess, he enjoys reading different genres of books (historical fiction, biographies, food writing), playing piano (Liszt, Chopin, Liebermann), and appreciating and critiquing gourmet food and drinks (sushi, pasta, and all kinds of lemonade).
