Chess
Overview
NEW! Discover the endless possibilities of critical thinking and creativity that chess can unlock! This winter, we’re thrilled to bring back our popular chess program, led by Jagdish Repaswal, a passionate and experienced instructor.
Chess is more than just a game—it’s an opportunity for young minds to develop strategic thinking, problem-solving skills, and foresight while having a blast. Children learn patience, focus, and confidence when planning their next move or anticipating an opponent’s strategy. These skills are invaluable and will serve them well in every facet of life.
Our chess program is designed for ages 5-8 years old. Chess offers a unique blend of competition and camaraderie, paving the way for lifelong friendships and teamwork.
Jagdish Repaswal is a seasoned entrepreneur and CTO with a rich background in AI and Education Technology, a chess champion from India, and a passionate advocate for lifelong learning. Having founded successful AI-driven startups and educational platforms that enhance learning experiences for children, he brings a unique blend of technology expertise and hands-on teaching. Jagdish’s teaching philosophy is centered around using chess as a dynamic tool for building essential life skills—such as critical thinking, strategic planning, patience, and adaptability—that are invaluable beyond the chessboard.
Through his classes, Jagdish combines his love for math, chess, and digital media, creating a well-rounded program that encourages kids to think creatively and solve problems in innovative ways. He believes that chess can serve as a foundation for success across all areas, offering young minds the mental resilience and discipline needed to tackle future challenges. By blending traditional game principles with digital-age skills, Jagdish aims to empower children aged 5 to 12 with tools for personal growth, learning confidence, and an enjoyment of problem-solving that will serve them throughout life.
