Meet Our Team

Founder and President


I'm Neha Sharan, the founder and president of Girls4Chess and I've been immersed in the world of chess for almost a  decade. Throughout my journey, I've participated in over 230 tournaments and witnessed firsthand the underrepresentation of girls in competitive chess. That's why I'm thrilled to introduce ChessForGirls.org, an organization dedicated to empowering and training more girls to play chess.

My name is Vishwajith(Vishwa) Kannan. I am currently 16 and a junior in Mountain house high school, CA. I've been playing chess on and off for about 2 years, and am working towards being a titled player. I have played in a few tournaments and have some experience there. My favorite quote is "Don't ever resign when there is a knight on the board. I joined Girls4Chess recently and am happy to make an impact in the society of chess. I'm currently 1500 and hope to be rated in the future. I wish to have a good year here at Girls4Chess and want to learn new things. I love helping people, so feel free to reach out!​
