"My daughter first started playing in Kindergarten as part of Chess for Children's in-class chess program and It’s been an amazing journey ever since. ...chess sharpened her strategic thinking, and taught her practice, persistence and patience pay off. Through hard work and determination she and her teammates won second place at this year’s National Chess Tournament in Dallas."

We are all impressed by Chess for Children's exceptional skills in providing quality chess education in an engaging and intellectually stimulating setting for our young people. It can be a challenge to keep the attention of 3rd-6th graders but our students are always captivated by Mr. Colding’s lessons and his enthusiasm for chess.

Dear Mr. Colding,
I want to express my greatest appreciation to you for your patience, support, and teaching in my younger years... chess helped me develop critical decision making skills and taught me to be systematic, thoughtful, and organized in my approach to life. Your student, Christopher
