Valuesetter’s Chief Executive Officer, Manny Teixeira, noted, "We’re now consulting with Jonathan Gottehrer, an entrepreneur and USCF-rated Candidate Master, to help advise on the development of our real money online chess platform. Jon’s passion for the game of chess and online expertise make him a perfect resource to oversee the development of a real-money platform."
