Initial programme

The programme is designed for children to learn about chess in a playful and creative way. Through games, stories and first tactical challenges, they learn the basic rules, develop their imagination and confidence. Two separate groups are organised - one in English and one in Russian - where children take their first steps into the world of chess in a safe and stimulating environment.

Continuing programme

For children and young people who already know chess well and want to take a step further. The programme focuses on strategy, openings, endgames and analysis of one's own games. Participants can choose between two separate groups - one in English, the other in Russian - both with the common goal of progressing in a relaxed and stimulating environment.

Timetables and more about the programme

A programme where chess connects culture, creativity and the international community.

The foreign language programme is for children who speak English or Russian. Groups are divided according to proficiency - basic and advanced level.

At the basic level, children learn the basic rules of the game, tactical motives and simple endings. Through the game, they develop independent thinking, creativity and imagination and learn the rules of competitive play.

At the advanced level, participants go one step further - systematically learning about openings, strategy and positional play, and strengthening analytical skills. In this way, they combine experience with new knowledge and progress in their chess development.

The programme encourages patience, perseverance and self-confidence - qualities that children can use on the chessboard as well as in life.
