Featured Testimonial
Stephanie ManderscheidCampbell Hill Elementary
My students love to play chess and are very motivated to learn new strategies. I can see that Chess provides very good opportunities for problem solving and logical thinking skills. I am amazed at students that may have difficulty in traditional school activities such as reading and
writing, but they can really excel in Chess. I also appreciate having a resource for extensions and cross curricular connections to chess.
