"Chess is a sea that a gnat can drink from and an elephant can bathe in."

Partnered with the City of St. Catharines, we are holding two chess tournaments for Children in January and February.

Please share the good news.

See you at the Parade.

Greetings Chess Fans,

Our eleven week Autumn intermediate chess program commences on Monday 11 September. There are two time slots with the 7:00 session for the more advanced and competitive players - 10 seats per session.

We will be running two simultaneous tournaments during our sessions. The weekly timed Swissys game using a clock will be the first game of the evening followed by the perpetual pyramid tournament games without clocks. In this way we can slowly alleviate any anxiety associated with time management then play the more casual games.

A Gold Membership to chesskid.com is now included to support our curriculum with reports generated weekly. Parents/Guardians can also enjoy a complimentary coffee/tea at Chocolates Etc. located across the street while they are waiting.

This year, 2017 marks the fifth successful year that we have instituted chess for children into the Niagara Region. I would like to thank all of my support staff for there dedication, the teachers at DSBN for allowing us to come into their schools, the parents for appreciating the magic that chess brings into their homes and the children for the excitement that they bring to the table.
