Chess at Three’s Community Classes are group chess lessons held in a variety of neighborhood locations: parks, community centers, public spaces, residential buildings, common areas, libraries, schools, and more!

We utilize a unique cast of characters, in fun and interactive stories; children progressively learn to play chess. Our stories focus on why chess pieces move in their own unique ways and are supported by activities that cement chess knowledge in your child’s mind.
