We teach chess skills to empower our students.

Chess improves a student's problem-solving ability and critical thinking skills in the areas of logic, pattern, perception, coordination, spatial relations, decision making and visualization. Our goal is to launch youth on a path to success, thereby contributing to global education equality. At Project CHESS, we celebrate inclusion!

Success

The chess-board is the world; the pieces are the phenomena of the universe; the rules of the game are what we call the laws of Nature. The player on the other side is hidden from us. We know that his play is always fair, and patient. But also we know, to our cost, that he never overlooks a mistake, or makes the smallest allowance for ignorance.
