Celebrating a Passion for Chess
Life is a fascinating journey filled with milestones, and for those who play chess, it’s a journey full of strategy, focus, and growth.
One of the proudest moments in my journey as a father has just arrived. Recently, my son graduated with an associate’s degree in business. He will take the next big step in his academic life: attending a university in Budapest, Hungary, this fall to earn his bachelor’s in business administration. He’s an industrious student and a brilliant young man who recently scored a perfect 100% on his university entrance exam in math. We’re hopeful that he’ll receive a well-deserved scholarship for his studies.
But something else defines him deeply: his love for chess.
My son has been playing chess since he was just three years old. His grandfather played a significant role in teaching him the game, and I’ve enjoyed many matches with him over the years. Today, he’s truly developed his style and skill. He plays online daily and enjoys challenging friends both in person and virtually. His passion for chess is inspiring, and his talent is undeniable.
As he prepares to begin this exciting new chapter in Europe, I want to give him something personal and meaningful: a couple of custom chess-themed T-shirts I designed myself. As a professional T-shirt designer, I searched countless online stores but found nothing that stood out. So, I decided to create my designs so that he could share his passion for the game and his unique skill and personality.
These gifts will not only be a t-shirt; they will also be a way for him to connect with fellow chess players at his university. When he wears one, it might be able to spark a conversation or even possibly even lead to a new friendship with someone who shares his enthusiasm for the game. It’s more than clothing; it symbolizes who he is and where he’s going.
That’s where you come in.
I’ve uploaded all the chess T-shirt designs I created to a single page (link below). Please take a moment to browse them and help me choose two designs you think he’d be proud to wear. Your opinion matters to me because sometimes, fresh eyes see what we overlook.

Do you see any that stand out? Any that reflect intelligence, style, and the spirit of a chess player heading off on a bold new adventure?
If you have suggestions for changes or ideas for a completely innovative design, I’m open to that too. Creativity is always welcome.
This is more than just selecting a shirt; this is about helping a young man express who he is, as well as helping him connect with others who are also interested in chess. He is my pride and joy, and chess has just been a bonus in his life. I genuinely appreciate your time, your taste, and your insight.
Thank you for helping me make this gift something special and unforgettable!
