Hennessy tells the inspiring story of Maurice Ashley, who embodies Hennessy’s “Never Stop. Never Settle.” ethos by pushing the limits of his mind to become a Chess Grandmaster.

Maurice didn’t learn his craft in a secluded sanctuary, he honed his game on the stone tables of Brooklyn’s Prospect Park. He relentlessly chased the lessons of victory and defeat in the Black Bear School of Chess, where he learned from trap setters, speed players and trash talkers.

Maurice pushed the limits of his potential, unlocked the power of the human mind, and won his way to achieve the highest honor in chess.
