What We Do

Since 2020, we have provided Free Online Chess Education to kids aged 6 – 14. We encourage class participation by limiting the class size to 15.

436 kids have joined our programs, learned how to play chess, and improved their chess skills. Some of them become competitive tournament players.

We are organizing monthly online chess tournaments to help our students gain tournament experience and prepare them for competing in the future.

In the summer of 2022, we offered one session from 7/5/22 - 8/15/22.

The session consisted of five beginners, three intermediate, and two advanced levels, and each level had six lessons. 171 students from MA, NH, ID, GA, and TN enrolled in our program. Among them,

• 63% were boys, 37% were girls
• 75% had some chess knowledge
• 78% were new to our program

On 6/27, we organized a Parent-Teacher Zoom meeting to introduce our program and instructors to registered parents and students. In addition, we held an In-person Awards Ceremony on 8/21 to celebrate the achievement of our students and practice problem-solving skills by working on tactics puzzles, simul with Grand Master, and competing in a blitz tournament. Our students had a lot of fun together.

In the summer of 2021, we offered one session from 7/5/21 - 8/15/21.

The session consisted of three beginners, three intermediate, and two advanced levels, and each group had six lessons. 76 students enrolled in our free program and gained hands-on experience learning and improving their chess knowledge and skills. We also organized tactics competitions and online chess tournaments in the intermediate and advanced classes, and students loved them.

In the fall of 2020, we offered one session from 10/5/20 - 11/15/20.

The session had two beginners and two intermediate levels, and each one consisted of six lessons. 60 students joined our program, discovered how to play chess, and sharpened their chess skills. 

In the summer of 2020, we held two sessions, one from 7/6/20 - 7/24/20 and the other from 8/3/20 - 8/21/20. 

Each session offered two beginners and two intermediate levels and six classes in each group. 129 students virtually participated in our program and learned how to play chess. We had a lot of fun together during the pandemic lockdown.
