CheckMates
was founded in 2006 by two brothers, Lev and George
Krasnopolskiy, who believed they could positively influence the lives of their
students through the game of chess. While teaching in the Chicago-Land area,
they saw their students drastically improve both their chess game and their
outlook on school/life. They were amazed at the power that chess had in
transforming the lives of troubles youth. By combining their passion for sports
with their mastery of chess, they invented new and innovating techniques to make chess
a fun and never ending journey.
CheckMates believes that chess
can help forge long-lasting friendships, increase reading and math scores,
sharpen quick decision making skills, and increase concentration capability for
youngsters of all criteria all over the nation. Through the use of various forms
of chess, puzzles, physical activity, and music, CheckMates will provide an
exciting and fun-filled activity that will bring out your child’s true
potential.
