Kids Chess Network, Inc. has been providing quality chess education since our founding in 1993. It is our mission to provide interesting and fun educational activities for every child who participates in our programs.

We believe the best way to achieve this goal is to demonstrate at individual levels the logic and beauty of chess, which provides transferable benefits to other subjects.
