About Us
Our Story
Knightly Seniors Chess Care was created by Vedanth Iyer in 2024. With a passion to help seniors, he launched this project to help mitigate and improve the effects of neurocognitive disorders such as dementia and alzheimer's. Vedanth has played chess ever since he was 4 years old, and ever since, has been playing competitively against others. During this time, he learned the benefits of chess, and how this wonderful game can improve ones memory and other cognitive function: helping to mitigate the effects of neurocognitive disorders.
