Description

“ART KNOWS NO REST; ONLY CREATIVITY.” – Cupiden. As school academics in a game, playing chess and being smart are interconnected. There's a strong correlation between chess and academic achievement including math, spatial analysis and non-verbal reasoning ability. Chess teaches higher level thinking skills such as visualization, analysis and critical thinking. Chess allows kids to connect with something in the real world which in turn, fires up their desire to learn. Joining in this Sherlock-Holmes-world of tactics and strategies, where the chessmen become personified, kids get trained in life-skills goal-setting: checkmate!

Open to anyone new or with limited knowledge of chess-art basics: moves, captures, castling, checkmates, special moves, notation, etc. FREE complimentary chess kit for new students. Drop-ins welcomed, space permitting.
