Why Chess?

Chess encourages strategic thinking, problem-solving, and focus, skills that are directly transferable to the business world.

Additionally, it provides a mental break from routine tasks, reducing stress and fostering creativity. By participating in chess classes together, employees can engage in friendly competition, build connections, improve communication, and develop a fun, intellectually stimulating habit that enhances your business's bottom line.

Chess has often been used as a method of professional development for corporate leaders. Legends such as Warren Buffett, Bill Gates and Richard Branson have all cited the discipline of regularly playing chess as one of the reasons for their success.

On top of all that, the game has managed to survive for 2000 years for the simple reason that it's incredibly enjoyable! Our 2 hour in-office sessions will show your employees not just the basics, but how to become a dangerous player in as short a time as possible.

Additional Products

We don't just offer in-office group sessions, we can also provide one-on-one training to those who are interested in taking their game to the next level fast.

Players of all ages and skill levels, online or in-person, all are welcome to try our chess lessons designed to suit your needs.

Our lessons are tailored to make learning fun and accessible, fostering creativity, confidence and competitive spirit.

Chess is also an excellent way of unlocking your child's potential. With young students, chess has been proven to boost critical thinking, focus, and problem-solving, develop curiosity and build confidence & focus.
