Why Chess?

There are a lot of articles that talk about the benefits of playing chess. To name a few, chess brings people together and builds friendship, exercises your brain and develops problem-solving skills, and also helps children to focus and remain calm under pressure.

 

With all being said, chess is a very fun game! It’s loved by people around the world for more than 1000 years!

Why Chess-Mates?

Our online/in-person lessons are taught by masters with lots of experience. They are either well-known chess coaches in the GTA with decades of experience and proven records, or rising Canadian young masters who grew up right here in our communities. They are all very successful in their chess careers and are passionate and eager to share their knowledge and experience. 

At Chess-Mates, we focus on fundamental leaning as well as practise. We limit the class size up to 10! Also, with every online lesson signed (L1 to L4), we will have a free home work lesson! Our coach will work with your children step by step to make sure they fully understand what is taught and will also encourage them to practise frequently on popular chess websites. Remember, practise is always the key!
