Dear Parents, Kids & All Our Chess Friends!
We are delighted to announce that the Chelsea Chess Club will be back for its 11th term. Established in 2019, the club now welcomes over 30 weekly members.
Our junior chess club in central London is staffed by 4 expert coaches. The Chess Rising Stars team will ensure that children are grouped with those of a similar age and chess level. We also offer support to more experienced children who are intending to compete in chess tournaments and team matches.
For younger children seeking to join the Chelsea Chess Club, we would advise to start with our new Chelsea Chess Club for 5 to 7 year olds. Our experienced coaches will provide you with feedback regarding the suitability of the club and information about our alternative chess courses, if required.
Each week we offer a mixture of chess lessons, friendly games and an internal tournament with plenty of prizes for the winners!
Registration is now open for the Spring and Summer Terms.
