Why should children learn chess?
Chess is a great game for developing a child’s planning and problem-solving skills. Here is why you should enroll your child in the 416 Kids Chess Class:

Competitive
Play with other kids your own level in weekly tournaments! Learn the benefits of sportsmanship and test yourself against other school-aged students.

Motivational
We believe strongly in rewarding and recognizing milestones; therefore, we provide certificates to students as they climb the ladder of chess skill.

Fun
Our classes are educational and fun! Our Chess Instructors use stories to bring chess to life. We encourage creativity and asking questions.
