Chess for Children: Intermediate, 7 Years Old & Up
An event every week that begins at 4:30pm on Tuesday, repeating until December 15, 2015
Event Details
Learn chess and have fun playing with other students at the intermediate level. An experienced and enthusiastic chess instructor leads lessons in the popular strategy game for young people in small, focused groups suited to your child’s level.
Chess is an exercise of infinite possibilities for the mind, one that helps develop mental abilities to be used throughout life. Playing chess improves concentration, critical thinking, abstract reasoning, problem solving, pattern recognition, strategic planning, creativity, synthesis, and evaluation.
Chess instructor Michah Saperstein has been teaching chess to children for 5 years, and has developed a program which emphasizes creativity and imagination in children. His first experience teaching was 13 years ago while traveling in Asia, instructing English as a second language.
