Kids Learning about the Chess Clock

Each chess program is unique in its approach and objectives. One of CheckMates Chess Academy’s priorities is to keep the kids on a steady track to success; this is why we strive to make sure chess classes has the same teacher every week throughout sessions. CheckMates chess teachers make class energetic and enjoyable, bordering between a class and a performance. Chess classes are fast paced and suited for kids ages 5-12, specifically designed to make chess interesting for their age group. Often times chess classes will relate to the things children know and understand best: sports, video games, school, and other games. Chess is known for being a game of strategies, and students learn how to relate these strategies to other aspects of their lives.
