The Hector Guifarro story: chess, choices and change

Hector Guifarro had a troubled childhood. At the age of 19, he “made a bad choice” which landed him in prison. Chess was his way out. This is his story. Guifarro remarked: “Prison is where I found the game of chess. It kept me out of trouble. It built my confidence and made me believe in myself”. | Photo: Stev Bonhage
