At Area Chess Shop, the Thrill is in the Teaching
When Christian Whitted’s daughter turned 16 and became more independent, he began to wonder what he would dedicate himself to next.
Luckily for Prospect Heights, he turned to another of his passions – chess.
The result is New York Chess & Games , which, with its trademark oversized chess board out front, has been a Flatbush Avenue fixture for the past three years.
A passionate veteran of the game, Whitted was formerly a train conductor, riding the rails while raising his daughter.
“I was a dad first, but after my daughter came of a certain age she really didn't need me too much. I found myself trying to figure out what (I'm) going to do for the next 40 years.”
Whitted started teaching privately, and eventually ended up giving classes at York College in Queens. But with a game that requires so much practice, his students wanted more.
“After all of the sessions, the same questions kept coming up: 'Where can I go? Where can I bring my kids? Where can I continue in the same kind of class?'” Whitted said. “I did not have an answer.”
