About this program

As school academics in a game and leadership training model, playing chess and being smart are interconnected. Chess teaches higher level thinking skills such as visualization, analysis and critical thinking. Knighted with a ‘commander’ self-image amidst a ‘friends-learning-together’ classroom setting, kids get trained in life-skills goal-setting: checkmate! For anyone new or with limited knowledge of chess-art basics. No class June 5.
