Yes For Chess Class at Sunset Ridge

At Yes For Chess, we take a unique approach to teaching chess to children. Rather than forcing students to memorize lengthy combination patterns and judging success entirely on winning, we concentrate on the end result of playing chess, which is developing critical-thinking, creative problem-solving, concentration and patience. We believe that chess should be used as a tool to teach students skills they will use throughout their academic careers. We are certain that a child's improvement in the classroom and progress on a chessboard are interconnected.
