 FAQs

  • We’re really proud of our chess teachers! Many chess centers care mainly about the teacher’s chess abilities. But we’ve found that a great chess teacher needs much more than that. That’s why we’re proud to say that our chess teachers are great at making lessons fun and exciting for kids. Our teachers strive to leave each student with at least one “special moment” every lesson. Sometimes, that means celebrating a new chess skill they’ve picked up. Other times, it could mean surprising them with cake for their birthday.

    Beyond that, our teachers have the chess abilities to back it up too. Many of them are certified to teach in MOE schools and have received coaching certifications from FIDE, the international chess federation.

    Entrust us with your child’s holiday experience! We’ll do all we can to give them a fruiful and enjoyable time with us.

  • Your child can bring a water bottle and jacket for the camp. All chess materials will be provided. They will also be receiving a free chess set that they can bring home and play with. Who knows, your child may end up teaching you chess! #value

  • There are plenty of malls and food options available nearby for parents to wait. Please note that parents and/or helpers will not be allowed into the centre during classes.

  • Not to worry, we will ask some questions and assign them accordingly. Generally, if they are still learning the rules, they would be suitable for the beginners camp (chess fundamentals), while if they already know the rules but are rated below 700 on chess.com they should go for our intermediate camp (sea of tactics), and if they are rated between 700-1000 on chess.com the advanced (Think like a Grandmaster) camp would be suitable.

  • Your child will still be allowed to come for the camp. However, the full camp fees will still be payable.
