Why... Chess?
Scientific research reveals that chess offers a handful of advantages for children's development. By engaging in chess, kids not only enhance their cognitive abilities but also sharpen their problem-solving skills and critical thinking. Studies consistently show that playing chess improves concentration, boosts memory, and enhances strategic planning abilities. Furthermore, chess fosters important life skills such as patience, perseverance, and sportsmanship. By introducing your child to chess, you provide them with a stimulating and intellectually rewarding activity that nurtures overall growth and development.

“ We have been doing lessons with Michael for over a year now and it has been nothing but great. The lessons are very flexible, communication couldn’t be easier, and the chess lessons have had a very positive impact on my daughter
( Emma ). "
Slava Lysenko | Client for 1.5 years
"Coach Michael has been great teaching our kids, keeping their attention and making it fun such as our kids want to keep having classes with him. In a little over a year our kids went from no prizes to geting trophies in rated tournaments in their age/grade groups."
Diana Kaya | Client for 3 year
“ Enrolling my 9-year-old son in chess lessons with Michael three years ago was one of the best decisions I've made. Watching him grow from a beginner to consistently outplaying adults fills me with immense pride. Michael's guidance has truly honed my son's skills, and I couldn't be happier with the remarkable progress he's made."
