Chess in Schools
Chess in the Classroom.
For more than 15 years, I’ve helped students discover chess through after-school programs, classroom instruction, holiday camps, and school tournaments. Whether working with complete beginners or experienced players, my goal has always been the same: make chess simple, structured, and enjoyable to learn.
