Testimonials

Chess4Life tournaments are a lot of fun too: they are a great way to socialize but they are also challenging enough for those who dream of becoming solid chess players. I highly recommend Chess4Life for anybody who is looking for a fun way to improve their chess skills as well as focus and thinking in general!

Ever since that first camp, [my son’s] love for chess has kept growing. He loves the classes, camps, and tournaments at Chess4Life so much that we've even started using them as an incentive for him completing homework! Thank you to the coaches and staff at Chess4Life for always encouraging [him], and helping him grow and develop as a chess player and person.
