Dear Parents

We are thrilled to announce the Chess Emporium’s next installment of the Road to Nationals classes for our Tempe and Scottsdale locations.

These classes are designed for those students who are who are rated tournament players, and/or have been attending the PCC classes of at least knight level or above, or done any of our past Supergroups offered by coach Joe or other coaches.



Many of our previous students who have taken this class recently performed very well at the SuperNationals VII tournament that was held in Orlando, FL this past May.

Six such students from our Tempe location finished in the top 20 in the country in their respective sections and received medals for their performance with one of them becoming National Champion in the unrated section for blitz! While for our Scottsdale location, several others also finished top 20 with one student becoming National Champion in the K-3 under 800 section.

Classes for Over 1000 ASCF/USCF students will take place Thursday nights for two hours from 5:30pm - 7:30pm on the following dates: 8/21/25 - 10/23/25.

Classes for Under 1000 ASCF/USCF students will be held twice per week for 10 weeks on Mondays and Tuesdays for 2 hours from 6:00pm to 8:00pm starting Monday, 8/18/25 and ending Tuesday, 10/21/25.
