Play Chess Against
Grandmaster Patrick Wolff
Get to know California’s candidate for Insurance Commissioner.
My name is Patrick Wolff, candidate for California Insurance Commissioner and a former national chess champion. I’m traveling around the state playing chess with people who’ve watched their insurance premiums go through the roof. Come share your story and concerns about rising costs while we play a friendly game and talk about how to fix California’s broken insurance system. If you’re able to beat me at a game of chess, I’ll pay one month of your home or renter’s insurance.
Watch for upcoming events in 2026.
Per State of California law, the maximum amount each prize winner may receive cannot exceed $250 per calendar year. The name of every recipient of a prize valuing $50 or more shall be disclosed on the Wolff for Insurance Commissioner 2026 committee’s campaign finance reports.
