Who We Are

Wasatch County Chess was founded about 10 years ago as a way to allow more involvement for kids that would otherwise not have the opportunity.

Our coach, Mike Dorsey, has been coaching chess for 13 years at the library, and 29 years through public schools before that. He was a Special Education teacher for 44 years, and served in the US Army for 3, including 1 year in Vietnam. He has a passion for baseball, golf and, of course, sharing the joy of chess with children.
