Chess is fun and can be learned quickly and easily! Studies have found that chess helps improve test results in reading, science, and math, and produces growth in critical cognitive skills. Beyond academia, chess influences social behavior including self esteem, respect for others, patience, and good sportsmanship.

The class is 1.5 hours long, followed by one round of an optional, rated tournament between 7:00 and 8:00. All players in the tournament must be current members of the US Chess Federation.
