IN-SCHOOL PROGRAM

Move One Chess specializes in classroom, in-school chess programs for elementary school students. The primary goal of the program is to not only learn to play a legal game of chess, but to also provide children with an opportunity to reap the academic benefits of learning the game and give students the skills to later develop foresight while learning strategies, tactics, calculation, and thought process as applied to chess.

Every Move One Chess session begins with a teacher-led, interactive lesson with a specific aim. An activity is then given to the students to reinforce the newly introduced skill, as well as time to play a full game of chess against one of their peers.
