Reed Departs US Chess

Director of Events Boyd Reed has resigned to pursue another opportunity outside of chess. His last day was May 20, and US Chess wishes him every success in his new position.

Reed started at US Chess in April 2016 as Assistant Director of Events. He was promoted to Director of Events in January 2018, a role he held until his departure.

Over his nine years with US Chess, Reed’s tenure saw US Chess experience record-setting growth and the successful execution of dozens of national events. His leadership during the challenges of the COVID era, particularly for events, was especially valuable.

Pete Karagianis assumes the position of Director of Events effective today, May 21. Congratulations to Pete!
