Get started in the chess world with our beginner-friendly class, where you'll learn the fundamentals and strategies to kickstart your chess journey.

Join us for beginning chess lessons for students in grades 3-5 only.

The class will cover an interactive lesson and end with free play.

We will start with how the pieces move in the first lesson and then basic tactics and checkmating patterns during our 8 weeks!

Sign up for the series to learn all about chess. If you miss the first class, you will need a basic understanding of how the pieces move to join us.

Beginning Chess for Kids - Weekday Series is a teen-led class taught by Teddy Gove. Teddy has been teaching chess to grade school kids for the last two years through ChessPals. He is a senior at Redwood High School and likes to run and (not surprisingly) play chess.

** Please note, this fall we are offering 2 Beginning Chess for Kids series, one on Wednesdays and one on Sunday. Please sign up for one series only!
