Program Description

Intermediate/Advance: 6-12 yrs old; anyone with knowledge of chess tactics and combinations. As a school academic in a game, playing chess and being smart are interconnected. There’s a strong correlation between chess and academic achievement including math, spatial analysis, and non-verbal reasoning ability. Joining in this Sherlock-Holmes-world of tactics and strategies, kids get trained in life-skills goal-setting checkmate. Chess provides a mental armor, commander (leader) and self-image whereby kids can draw upon and develop a well-rounded discipline, amidst a friendly social setting where art meets science and math with fun. Chess folder kit included.
