Proudly Founded by a Charlotte Almnus

Peter Giannatos

Charlotte Chess Center (CCC) founder Peter Giannatos graduated from UNC Charlotte in 2014. Built on the principles of leadership, critical thinking, and community cultivated during his time at UNCC, the Charlotte Chess Center has grown into a premier hub for chess education and competition. In honor of Niner Nation Week, the CCC is proud to give back to the 49er community by extending these exclusive offers to fellow alumni, faculty, staff, and their families.
