“Our son loves Kid Chess! His chess game has improved greatly in a very short time, and the additional benefits of focus skills and developing play strategies are excellent to see. We appreciate Kid Chess being offered as an after school club program.”

“This is an absolutely wonderful program. My son participated throughout elementary school & now his younger sister is also enrolled. I would highly recommend it to anyone. I only wish it was available for middle school kids. :-)”

“Love the simplicity for the new young chess players.”

“My son loves kid chess! The online program that they put into place after schools closed kept him practicing and challenging other players.”

“Kid Chess is a wonderful organization that offers tailored chess programs for kids in schools (after school program) as well as online. My son has been playing chess with Kid Chess for four years now and he has thoroughly enjoyed it while learning a great deal. He is now rated at the national level and has done quite well for his age (he is only 9 years old). I learned how to play chess when I was a kid, but in those days playing chess was a bit boring because you pretty much only played "regular" games. But with kid chess, kids engage in all kinds of fun and challenging exercises, even competing against coaches (with coaches having only 30 seconds or one minute to win against the kids). My son also attended summer camps in the past and kid chess camps has always been one of his favorite camps. This year, with Covid-19, I have been impressed at how quickly Kid Chess adapted the kid chess after school program into an online chess activity. My son was able to play every day online for up to two hours with other kids (automated pairing). He usually played about one hour each day and made some good progress while taking his mind away from video games. he now joined the online summer camp and he is excited about being able to continue playing chess while staying at home. If your kid likes chess, I highly recommend Kid Chess. The team is extremely well organized, creative, fun, and they care about kids.”

“We highly recommend KidChess. My son has been in the program for the last 3 years and keeps looking to play. They have great couches that always encourage the kids to think before taking any actions and help them in a friendly way to bring out their full potential. We have also had great experiences with the KidChess tournaments. They are in a friendly competitive environment.”

“The fact that some parents would dare give KidChess a low rating just shows me some people won't ever be satisfied. This program takes large groups of kids after school with no chess background whatsoever, gets them to actually listen after school when they very tired yet bouncing off the walls from sitting all day, teaches them the (what I find extensive and hard to remember) rules of chess, how to have fun and enjoy the game and also so many strategies to grow as chess players. My son joined the after school program in 1st grade in not knowing anything at all and has learned so much and grown to absolutely love chess. I am so sad he will be in middle school next year and not have KidChess as an option after school!”

“My son loves kids chess and they have helped him develop his skills. He’s only 9 and has been enjoying this program for 2 years. Thanks kids chess❤️❤️”

“Our son has been actively a part of the Kid Chess community for just over 2years now. Coach Louis + Coach Brian + Coach Anthony are the best. Chess has taught our son patience, critical thinking, and most importantly sportsmanship.”
