New students can learn chess after a FREE chess evaluation

Chess is Educational, Competitive and Fun! We are Edmonton’s largest chess instructional organization teaching students in schools and other venues how to properly play chess since 2001. But then Covid-19 showed up so we have moved our classes on line and have partnered with ChessKid, the world’s largest children’s online chess to combine their online features with our own instructional programs. We offer FREE evaluation of children, Grade 1 and up, before they join our program because we want to make sure they get placed in the proper class. If they are already playing chess we need to know they are playing by international rules and know proper strategy right from the opening moves to save them possible disappointment if they join a class and find out they can not win a game because they do not know opening principles, tactics or how to do simple checkmates, avoid stalemates and promote a pawn. We have also organized or been involved in hundreds of local, regional, provincial and national tournaments. And now we’re moving the local and regional tournaments online with every participant going home with an award. We also believe in a fit body goes with a sharp chess mind, so we have created Commando Chess where fitness challenges are done between chess games. Contact us for flyers explaining the evaluation process and how to join one of our online classes.
