The late Chris Riley was a very dedicated and passionate supporter of introducing chess to the community. He volunteered on most Saturdays from 2003 – 2023 at Wooldridge Square Park,
near his home in downtown Austin, to organize chess matches for all ages and abilities with a Giant Chess set kept at the park. His efforts helped attract people to a beautiful park that is underutilized for many enjoyable moments for the players as well as interested spectators.
