Why Four Knights Chess?

At Four Knights Chess Academy, we focus on developing special skills that will benefit children outside of the chess game. Our goal is to make kids intellectually stronger and more creative in their approach to solving problems. We use chess as a tool to teach kids how to:

• Visualize and manipulate complex structures
• Ask the right questions to solve problems efficiently
• Work under time pressure

We have developed a curriculum that incorporates chess strategies and skills that aid kids in academic classes and future careers. Our team, which includes coaches from Harvard and MIT, creates an atmosphere where kids thrive.

Together, we have more than 30 years of experience building child-centric chess education programs.

What parents say about us

"My two sons have really enjoyed the program and have even been doing the homework! Every week they look forward to the class – to learn and to beat their friends. I hope that Mr. Kritz will continue his chess program at our school."

Alexander

"My son spent several summers learning chess with Eugene at his chess camp. Eugene is a talented coach who got my son to fall in love with the game. Training, competing and making new friends has been a fantastic experience for him!"

Yeva

"Eugene is a superb coach and really fun to talk to. He has a track that he followed when he became Grandmaster that he teaches fluently. The best thing for my chess understanding has been taking lessons with Eugene."
