Chess Masterclass
Join our chess masterclass for improved strategic thinking, problem solving and visual memory in a fun, engaging environment competing with like-minded, bright students.
This program is for students who love chess or are keen to learn the game, its strategies and tactics. On the first day, students are graded into groups based on their level of skill. The program culminates on the last day with a knock-out competition where students have the chance to compete for a special Swot Shop trophy and black ribbon.
This Chess Masterclass offers students the opportunity to engage in fun games and competition whilst sharpening their memory, focus and spatial reasoning. As a game of pure skill, chess training can improve children’s problem-solving, critical thinking, and decision-making skills. Furthermore, playing chess can boost academic performance, especially in maths, and foster social skills. In addition, it is a fun and favoured game by many Swot Shop students!
