We are happy to evaluate placement based on a player’s readiness and spot availability. Our coaching team combines years of competitive chess with teaching experience. What sets our program apart is a structured curriculum tailored to each level, weekly graded homework, office hour support, in-class practice tournaments, and a thoughtful long-term approach to chess improvement.
