DIRECTOR Ulysses Tapley has been an avid chess player since the age of 9. After 26 years of employment at Brookhaven National Laboratory, he took an early retirement package and a leap of faith to pursue his passion. He enjoys playing chess, but he enjoys teaching chess even more. He is fondly known as Coach “T” and enjoys teaching children and adults of all skill levels.
The game of chess keeps him quite busy - he currently teaches at Bridgehampton and Southampton Libraries, Southampton Youth Bureau, Southampton Youth Services, The Children’s Museum of the East End, St. John Paul Second Regional Catholic School and the Bridgehampton Child Care and Recreation Center.
We’re thrilled to have him with us at Future Stars. His motto for chess and life is, “when you find a good move, look for a better one.” - GM Emmanuel Lasker Ulysses is a member of the United States Chess Federation.
He currently resides in Riverhead with his wife, Jackie. He has two adult children.
