Marin County native and international master Ladia Jirasek hopes to pass down his love of chess to generations to come.
Growing up in Tiburon, Ladia Jirasek felt like an outsider who didn’t quite fit in with other kids his age who were more interested in playing sports than chess, which he began learning when he was 9 years old.
That is, until he began participating in the after-school programs and tournaments offered by Marin Scholastic Chess. He began to feel part the fabric of Marin’s chess world. Now 23, Jirasek is an international master, the second-highest title in chess awarded by the International Chess Federation, and is on a mission to pay it forward and inspire the next generation of chess players in Marin and beyond.A longtime chess coach, he wrote 2021’s “How to Chess,” a guide for beginners. When he’s not mentoring or playing chess, the UC Berkeley graduate works as junior quantitative trader.
