Through our Aditya Nicholas Dias Memorial Fund, we are pleased to sponsor Castle Chess Camp, which is held annually at Emory University in Atlanta. The 2025 camp had 120 campers from 22 states plus Canada, Mexico, and Puerto Rico. Their average US Chess rating was 1750, and 21 students had ratings over 2000.
Aditya, like all former Castle campers, loved chess. He enjoyed making friends at camp whom he would later see at tournaments around the country. He loved learning more about the game from the experienced instructors and then sharing that with his friends and family back home.
Chess was an integral part of his short life, so his family established this memorial fund to honor Aditya’s passion for chess and to help more students benefit from the game. Through this sponsorship, we look forward to enabling more students to enjoy the Castle Camp experience – especially those with limited financial resources.
