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.
Make a Smart Move!
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!
