The key to our success is that we do not approach chess club in a dry, boring way. We use stories, rhymes, and dances to bring the pieces to life and get kids excited about playing the Game of Kings. We are proud to say we get students excited about a game that enhances and encourages logical thinking, problem solving, and foresight. We try to make chess as fun as possible, and give the kids the tools they will need to study chess on their own. We emphasize the fun over the competitive elements and try to get our students excited about chess and its strategies, so that they can put the time on their own into mastering chess.
