Coaching
The course is led by an experienced coaching team around Grandmaster Sebastian Bogner. The coaches guide every child individually and with plenty of patience.
A bright mind is trained in concentration and staying power. It also learns to bring courage and respect towards the opponent, and to stick to fair play and the rules even after setbacks.
Why youth chess?
Chess trains concentration, strategic thinking and the ability to make good decisions under pressure. Children learn to plan ahead, combine creatively and to lose and win fairly. Skills that are valuable far beyond the board.
