The U.S. Chess Center promotes self-confidence, social skills, and academic success for all.

Chess Center offers chess classes, chess camps, scholastic tournaments, and classroom-based chess training. The Chess Center also supports school chess clubs and works closely with public, charter, and private schools in the Washington, D.C., region to promote chess. Our program teaches students to make positive choices and produces people who can enter higher education or the work force with the critical thinking skills they need to succeed. The foundation we help children build improves their academic and social skills.

WHEN HOPE IS NOT ENOUGH

05/06/2026

Last month's DC Area-Wide Scholastic Tournament was a huge success. Nearly 200 students representing more than 100 schools registered for the event. Not only were DC, Maryland, and Virginia represented, nine students from Berkeley Springs, West Virginia, made the trek to compete. Berkeley Springs High School won the trophy for the top high school. Georgetown Day School in the District of Columbia was the top middle school, and Churchill Road Elementary School in McLean, Virginia, took top elementary school honors. We expect this to become an annual event.
