Candido Tirado
Playwright/Chess Master
Candido connects the Spirit to Chess.
Candido is the Winner of the 1989 Sundance Award for his chess play “King Without a Castle.” He won the Steinberg/ATCA Best American New Play award in 2012 for “Fish Men”.
Candido sees the chess game as a conversation between two people: the one who has the more complete argument will usually be the victor.
