The Place to Learn and Play in the Tri-Valley
From the Founders of State and National Champions, Fallon Middle School Chess Club
About Us
Our founders and instructors have 15+ years creating, managing and coaching the most popular and competitive youth chess clubs in the Tri-Valley.
Our Dublin-based non-profit teaches chess to more than 300 kids of all levels, from beginners to highly-rated US Chess tournament competitors.
We also hold affordable monthly USCF-rated tournaments for all levels of scholastic and adult players, with both trophies AND cash prizes!
Fall Classes and After-School Clubs
For Fall 2024, we are offering 12 after-school clubs and evening/ weekend classes in Dublin, Pleasanton, and San Ramon (email us if you would like us to come to your school!).
Our in-school clubs let players of all levels learn from enthusiastic coaches, play against friends, develop key thinking skills and win trophies and other prizes.
Our small group (4 to 8:1) tournament training classes provided highly-tailored lessons from professional coaches that accelerate your players' development and rating gains.
We also offer online 1:1 lessons for high-performance players taught by locally-raised NM Evan Ai.
Develop problem solving, visual acuity, focus, and other essential critical thinking skills.
