Now Enrolling Spring Chess

We hope everyone had a wonderful holiday, and we're looking forward to getting back to work. Our Spring Semester begins the first week of February, and registration is open!

December was an action-packed month, highlighted by the participation of several of our teams in the USCF Grade National Championship. Three of our teams represented very well, capturing 20% of possible team trophies in the elementary divisions. And we're especially proud of our Gladiators from Brooklyn's PS 10, who captured the National Championship in the fourth grade division.

And the news here: PS 10 National Champs in the News!

We're also very proud to announce that we are now running identical programming in both Manhattan and Brooklyn -- all camps, weekend tournament play, Rookie Academy, and monthly Team Tournaments will now be on two sites, giving all our families easier access to safe facilities for training.

With a lot of BIG events coming in the spring, starting with the New York State Championship in March, we are launching a new weekly team practice event with three rated games every Saturday in TWO locations, starting next Saturday, January 15th.
