Chess is rapidly growing as a competitive sport in the United States at every level. From elementary school to college, people are realizing the benefits of this ancient game. Many colleges and universities are now offering scholarships for chess and even have awarded $85,000 to the top placements in the Super Nationals Tournament. The competition is tough but the benefits are great. Now’s the perfect time to get involved! Chess develops creativity, focus, problem solving skills and is just plain fun.

The class will be taught by Intercontinental Bronze Medalist & GA State Champion (U2200), USCF Candidate Master Jim Mundy. Program includes study materials for extensive training. Each student will receive level cards both for home study and to track progress, will have an active rating on the club ladder, access to computers and training software, chronos clocks for blitz and bughouse, and of course chess sets! All students will be recognized for their efforts with medallions and certificates, and chanc-es to win trophies as well.

Any level of player is welcome, beginner to advanced. If your child is interested in participating, please fill out the information and return it to the front office.
