Chess club is held every other Friday morning during the second semester of school. It begins at 7AM, so both student and parents have to be really dedicated to get up early. Despite that, we often have more applications than we can take! These kids really want to learn! The program is taught by Steve Schneider via DVD lessons. His sequential lessons develop a deep understanding of how each piece plays its role in the over all game. After we learn the role of each piece, we have open play days, where students compete against each other to gain skill.
