At Saint Joseph’s University, hundreds of kids gathered on Saturday for the 17th annual PECO-ASAP Checkmate Violence Chess Marathon.

It’s where Brandon Tran, 16, is learning skills to, not only win at the game of chess but also the game of life.

“This is like a safe haven for a lot of kids,” said Tran, who has been in the program for three years. “It gives me a fire to burn and go through other stuff, like academics. It keeps me pushing.”
