For more than a decade, the Torres Chess and Music Academy has been transforming the California chess scene one child at a time.
For more than a decade, the Torres Chess and Music Academy has been transforming the California chess scene one child at a time. It is the mission of the TCAMA to produce chess excellence in the schools and communities in which that it operates. In fact, since the Torres Chess and Music Academy’s summer chess camp has become an annual event, three different California schools have won National Elementary Championships and all of them are located at or walking distance from its summer chess camp locations. Compare this to the time period before the TCAMA full day chess camps in which California had never produced an elementary chess program that won the USCF National Championship and the evidence is clear: The Torres Chess and Music Academy’s summer program is much more than just another chess camp; it is an opportunity to change your child’s life.
“If we are known by the company we keep, then the influencers you expose your child to ought to inspire and invigorate them to greatness. Chess mastery is not just learned by reviewing games and solving problems. It is grasped by the mind and spirit of those children who experienced it in the lives of highly accomplished chess masters. All of our teachers understand the importance of continually introducing your children to those who have chosen to excel through chess. Our students listen to them, watch them and learn firsthand what it takes to be a champion in both chess and life.”- Chris Torres

Emory is regarded as one of the greatest aggressive chess players in America.
Perhaps a child lacks the confidence necessary to achieve his/her personal chess goals. The TCAMA is proud to introduce International Master Emory Tate to our summer chess camp in order to help grow a child’s chess confidence and make his or her play more assertive. Emory is regarded as one of the greatest aggressive chess players in America. He made a name for himself in chess in the United States Air force and by winning the All-Armed Services tournament five different times. Since 1992 he has become Indiana State champion a total of six different times and then Alabama State Chess Champion twice. When he isn’t coaching Bay Area students, Emory makes it a regular habit to defeat top grandmasters at the prestigious chess tournaments in which he often participates.
Dr. Schiller is widely recognized as a geyser of chess information. Having written over 100 chess books he is one of the most knowledgeable chess coaches one can meet.
Maybe another child lacks knowledge on the critical lines of today’s popular tournament openings. Who better to help him/her than National Master Eric Schiller PhD.? Dr. Schiller is widely recognized as a geyser of chess information. Having written over 100 chess books he is one of the most knowledgeable chess coaches one can meet. Besides coaching and participating in chess tournaments, Eric is a sought after International Arbiter who has organized and directed an impressive list of chess tournaments and matches.
Chris is widely recognized as one of the main driving forces behind the explosion in popularity and sudden rise in quality of scholastic chess in California.
It has been said that “chess is 99% tactics”. Chris Torres, a USCF Correspondence chess master and President of the TCAMA, believes this to be true. He has personally helped to transform hundreds of talented young chess players into internationally recognized brilliant tacticians. Since he began coaching in 1998, Chris is widely recognized as one of the main driving forces behind the explosion in popularity and sudden rise in quality of scholastic chess in California.
