About the weekly chess courses
The classes for children take place Monday through Friday, at some locations we offer classes on Saturday as well. The children attend one lesson of 60 minutes per week. Day and time of the class are defined by the age and chess experience of the child and its available time. Our courses are provided in small groups by professional and experienced chess trainers in order to guarantee best training quality for the children. We teach all levels of kids from beginners to professional players.
