Description

NOVICE/NEWBIE I&II: anyone new or with limited knowledge of chess-art basics: moves, captures, checkmates, special moves, notation, etc.;

As school academics in a game – and leadership training model - playing chess and being smart are inter-connected. There's a strong correlation between chess and academic achievement including math, spatial analysis and non-verbal reasoning ability. Clothed with a ‘Commander’ (leader) self-image in a ‘friends-learning-together’ classroom setting, kids get trained in life-skills goal setting: checkmate! Free complimentary chess kit for new students. Instructor’s Mission Statement: Strategies now, leader tomorrow.
