Testimonials: We are really impressed by the confidence my daughter has gained by attending Mr. Garrison's classes. She picked up a lot of new moves and strategies from the classes. She is so much motivated that keeps practicing and playing chess all through the week. My child didn't start chess until 5th grade, and I wasn't sure she would catch up. This class got her up and running quickly and with confidence. She liked the class and enjoys playing whenever she can. Mr. Garrison is a terrific instructor, especially when teaching the younger kids strategies. As someone who played chess as a kid (without instruction), it's fascinating to see the logic of the game revealed. Chess seems to be so much about looking ahead and making logical predictions and I'm so happy to have my son learn these skills. I also love the way he gets used to losing graciously and to see losing as a part of learning. I was little hesitant while starting chess class for my kid in KG because I thought too early for him. But it's not the case. He learned more than what I expected from him. Thanks to the instructor who is so encouraging always. Class meets in art room. This is an update from the printed catalog. New students are required to purchase a "Chess Tactics Workbook" on the first day of class for $20.
