History

Illustration

For more than 6 years, we have been teaching children and adults the game of chess.

    The beginning

    Our club was organized by Afghan war veterans, who were united by a love for chess, and wanted to keep in touch with each other in this way. This was the beginning of the glorious history of our chess school. But it was just a hobby club then.

    Chess classes opening

    For a long time, our chess club was a place where people could meet and play chess. However, teaching was not conducted until 2016. In 2016, the club owners decided to open a full-fledged school, which both adults and children could attend to learn how to play chess and participate in tournaments.

    Here and now

    During the existence of our club, more than 3,000 people have learned to play chess. Another 1000 experienced chess players improved their skills, prepared for competitions. For 6 years, our doors have been open to anyone who wants to learn chess or improve their level.

We decided to choose chess in order to develop logic and thinking in our kid. We saw an advertisement of this club and enrolled our boy. I want to say many thanks to the tutors. Adam dreams of becoming a world chess champion!

I love chess since childhood, my grandfather taught me how to play. After moving to New York, I decided to find a chess club where I could improve my skills. This club is ideal for me, I enjoy every class!
