a story that will make you bay area proud. >> reporter: abel says looking back he realizes his love of chess stems from a desire to be in sole control of the outcome. in retrospect, it makes sense that at a time in his life when he didn't feel completely in control, chess was the answer. >> so you have this knight pinned. you have this knight pinned. >> reporter: freeing yourself from a trap. it's one of the skills abel teaches his students how tow do on a chess board. it is also something he's shown a knack for in life as well. you see, before running bay area chess, an enrichment program teaching more than 2,000 students at more than 100 bay area schools, abel worked for close to 20 years in a job in the medical field that paid the bills but didn't feed his soul. >> i didn't feel like what i did made a difference. >> reporter: and when that got

to be too much and it came time to make a change going forward, abel went back to his childhood and a gift he once received. >> it was one of my aunts got me a chess set for christmas. >> reporter: abel took to the game so well that while a student at san jose's lincoln high school, he was one of the best chess players anywhere. >> i was ranked 16th in the country in my age group. >> reporter: but remaining at that level requires almost complete dedication to the game. and soon work, school, and eventually a family meant abel couldn't. but he didn't just play less chess. he stopped. >> nothing. nothing. yeah. did i ever play with friends on the side or do anything like that? nothing. it was -- it was completely dormant. >> reporter: abel only returned to the game when he knew his life had to change. >> one of the things that i've kind of like found during the course of my life is that

there's always some things that remain constant. >> reporter: abel couldn't be happier with his decision, and the students he works with seem pretty thrilled too. abel knows that his days of playing elite chess are long behind him, and chances are slim any of his current students will one day become grand masters. but neither of those are the point of all this. teaching students to avoid traps on the board and in life is. >> if these kids learn these things at this early age and then go off and have this effect on others in their community and set this good example, it's good for the community, and it's good for the world. >> reporter: abel says the ability to lose and still be a good sport about it is one of the great skills that these kids take away from bay area chess. garvin thomas, nbc bay area news. >> nice job, garvin. we'll be right back.
