Esai Sandoval

My Royal Knights Chess Students have always been 

taught to set goals and achieve greatness. Yes, they 

win trophies and are among the best chess players in 

the area, state and nation.  The mission is to gain 

success, leadership, confidence, and character as
part of their chess training as Royal Knights.

Esai Sandoval has decided to take the next step in 

the Royal Knights Chess Training which only a few 

have been able to take and achieve. Among those 

few Royal Knights are Philip Martinez, Oziel Juarez, 

Christian Muraira, Daniel Hung, Zach Sunderland, 

Edgar Santoyo,  and Fernando Mendez

the "All American Chess Team member". 

Esai Sandoval will start his training this coming 

week which will include: chess tournaments 

with competition greater than 1600, read books on 

chess and leadership, and getting ready for his 

University career choices. To be a Royal Knight is 

not only about becoming a CHESS PLAYER, but 

becoming a LEADER and CHAMPION in life.
