"Master the Art of
Mental Combat"

"I am a chess warrior.
I think carefully and make
my decisions wisely.
During a heated chess combat,
I will protect my King,
attack aggressively,
and always look for checkmate.
I will treat my opponent with respect
taking wins and losses with grace.
My chess army will fight fiercely
and I will never resign.
I am a chess warrior."

Our Mission

Our mission is to use the game of chess to create a mindset amongst children that they’re equipped with the innate ability to strategize. Children learn they are able to independently create a plan for solving complex problems.

Our program is designed to teach students mental toughness, discipline and fortitude, while learning how to apply reason, logic and game theory to accomplish a goal all while making new friends!

With a focus on patience, perseverance and self-control, our students are taught to learn from their mistakes, learning failure is simply the tuition one pays for success!

And Adults?

In addition to kids classes, we strive to improve the chess community in Chattanooga. We offer lessons, club and a competitive chess league for adults too!
