PS 130M Chess Club & Team
PS 130 Manhattan Friday Chess Club & Team
Welcome to the PS 130M Chess Club & Team. Registration for Chess Club & Team is now open! *Located in at 143 Baxter Street, Manhattan
Program Vision:
From complete beginners to advancing tournament players, our goal is that all PS 130M players can experience both the joy & significant social/educational benefits of learning and playing chess. Our PS 130 Manhattan Team will prepare for Local, City, State & National Competitions.
Our in-person programming will match players into groups based on skill, interest level & age. This allows coaches to identify and create the right training environment for each player (complete beginner - advanced competitors).
Class groupings (subject to change based on program enrollment):
Kings: 1000+ USCF
Queens: 800+ USCF
Rooks: U800 USCF (500-799 USCF) & with an eye towards competition
Bishops: U500 USCF & advancing Tournament players
Pawns: K-1 introductory coaching / U300 USCF & social play
* Each PS 130M program member will receive a team shirt and a www.chesskid.com gold membership.
We continue to follow all protocols as outlined by the NYC DOE regarding in person programming.
