Why Chess?

homepage1 Why Chess?Are you looking for a cost effective way to bond with your child and instill patience, problem solving skills and a myriad of other life skills in them? Are you looking for a way of entertaining your kids that doesn’t cost in power, fuel, junkfood or expensive electronics?

Chess is the answer.

Your Chess Coach is devoted to teaching chess to children of all ages. Although we are able to turn children into strong tournament players, if that is their goal, we are more interested in having them learn the many life skills that chess teaches. Studies around the world have shown that a child’s educational experience is enhanced by adding chess to their curriculum.

Bottom line: chess lessons make kids smarter!

A few of the skills learned through chess are:

  • Self confidence
  • Tactical and logical thinking
  • Long term planning and follow through
  • Patience
  • Memorization
  • Imagination
  • Independent thinking
  • Self motivation
  • Spatial relations

  • Focus
  • Problem solving
