Chess In Shanghai

Playing chess in Shanghai feels like drinking a cup of coffee

The CIS Academy will start again tomorrow (but it can be joined at any time during the season!), so here are some very kind words from an attendee:

“Joining this chess training course has been an absolute delight and a rewarding journey. The instructor is not only highly skilled but also incredibly patient, breaking down complex strategies into easy-to-understand steps that even beginners can follow. The small class size ensures everyone gets personalized feedback, which has helped me sharpen my skills faster than I expected. What I love most is the friendly, competitive atmosphere—playing against fellow enthusiasts in practice matches has taught me to think critically, stay calm under pressure, and learn from my mistakes. Whether you’re a total newbie or looking to level up your game, this course is worth every minute. It’s not just about chess; it’s about building a mindset of strategy and focus that applies to all areas of life”
