Dear Parents, Kids & All Our Chess Friends!
Chess Rising Stars have taught hundreds of children in our online chess clubs since 2020. Our global community of chess learners has grown to over 400 members on lichess.
We offer small-group online chess lessons to children aged 5-16, from beginners to elite level players. Thanks to the positive feedback from students and parents, we have grown to now offer 6 groups across 3 days.
Chess Rising Stars weekly clubs have a mixture of chess lessons, friendly games and an internal tournament with plenty of prizes for the winners! You can find the digital entry form at the bottom of this page.
Registration is now open for our Spring and Summer Term Online Chess Clubs.
