Dear Parents,

We are thrilled to announce an exciting opportunity for your child to embark on a journey into the world of chess mastery! Our intensive chess training program, led by experienced coaches Joe Lafornara and National Master Darian Nguyen, aims to prepare your child for two prestigious tournaments: the 2024 National K-6 Championships in Columbus, Ohio, and the International Youth Chess Championships in Las Vegas.

Chess is not just a game; it's a strategic and intellectual pursuit that fosters valuable life skills such as discipline, problem-solving abilities, and focus. Our carefully designed curriculum focuses on essential chess strategies and principles, empowering your child with the knowledge and confidence needed to excel in these high-profile tournaments.

Beyond the pursuit of victory, these competitions offer an enriching environment of competition and camaraderie. Your child will create cherished memories and make friends from all corners of the chess world. This immersive experience will propel their personal growth and enhance their passion for the game.

We invite you to enroll your child in this adventure of intellect and fun. They will not only compete but also learn and grow as individuals. We believe that the skills they develop during this program will serve them well in all aspects of their lives.

If you have any questions or would like more information about the program, feel free to call us at 602-482-4867. We are more than happy to provide additional details and address any concerns you may have.
