Learn Chess The Right Way
While Having Fun

The cognitive benefits of chess are as well-known as Bobby Fisher and the Queen’s Gambit on Netflix – But how difficult is it to learn chess? At Chess4Life, we believe that if chess is taught the right way, it is a fun & engaging game that can help kids develop important skills like focus, sportsmanship, respect, and planning!

Our carefully designed curriculum is built by National Master Elliott Neff and our team of coaches to empower your child to think about the best move in any position while avoiding bad habits. We genuinely care about your child and how they learn chess and guarantee that if you or your child are not happy with our program, we will make it right or give you your money back.
