Events › Chess for Kids

Come let’s have fun with the philosopher’s game—chess!

This program is for kids below 10 years of age. Chess helps you learn to strategize and overcome difficult situations. It’s more a mental game than physical; its a game not just played with hands, but with the mind.

This program is 2 hours monthly. Teen students teach the basic techniques between 2 partners. Your child will make new friends and develop a lifelong love for this exciting game. Come join us to have some fun and learn.

Our motto is to have every child gain knowledge in chess so it helps them to improve critical thinking, concentration and problem solving skills. We want to give back to the society the knowledge we have with chess.

*Space is limited, we will hand out tickets 15 minutes prior to the event.

** This program is located at ACLibrary, but is provided with youth instructors
