#ChessMatters
K.I.N.G. Chess League was the first member of the K.I.N.G. Houston family of academic and sports programs. Unique instructional courses start at just 4 years of age, and all skill levels are welcome. During each session participants learn the game's history, pieces, values, proper movements, strategies, and a general level of mastery.
Our aim is not only to develop a skilled chess player (but more importantly) to create cognitive exercises and activities that will enhance each student's life skills. Oftentimes, these skills include critical thinking, patience, team building, and positive sportsmanship. When a student realizes that they have these skills, they can develop a healthy self-esteem along with added reassurance that they're more than capable of fulfilling their dreams. Our program also includes USCF rated and unrated tournaments, unique workbooks and activities, and age appropriate exams to graduate each participant to their next level of mastery.
The takeaway is that chess (whether played academically or leisurely) has many cognitive benefits. Keep reading to learn more about how your student can benefit from chess. Then, click on the buttons below for more info about our programs, camps, and tournaments! :)
