Why learn to play chess?
“The game of chess is not merely an idle amusement. Several very valuable qualities of the mind, useful in the course of human life, are to be acquired or strengthened by it… Life is a kind of Chess, in which we have often points to gain, and competitors or adversaries to contend with.” – Benjamin Franklin
Coming from one of the founding fathers of the United States, the statement shows just how importasnt chess has been throughout history as a discipline to sharpen the mind, develop critical thinking and nurture problem solving skills that we all need. With so much programming and screen time competing for our attention, ADHT is at an all time high and it has become difficult for most of us, and particularly children, to focus on one activity. Chess is literally the cure for that. Not to mention it’s also great fun!

ONLINE CHESS TUITION
An interactive online lesson for absolute beginners to advanced level. Similar to traditional classroom settings, participants will also have time to play a supervised game. We are using our own bespoke platform for playing, which is 100% secure and monitored.
ONE-ON-ONE TUITION
For the fastest progress we offer one-on-one private classes. We will evaluate the student’s level, set targets, and chart a course to raising the students understanding, tactical play and eventually to the development of opening, middle game and end game strategies. Once the momentum has been built, Chess is a game you will enjoy for a lifetime!
PLAY IN CHESS TOURNAMENTS
If you are interested in playing in local chess tournaments we have a program that will get you ready. We will apply for your FIDE ID, and you will experience competing against highly rated players in local tournaments. This will develop your skills in performing under time pressure in a tournament setting and eventually lead to you achieving a FIDE rating.
