PS 59 Chess Team
The Chess After School program is offered on site at PS 59 on Mondays and Fridays.
From complete beginners to advancing tournament players, our goal is that all PS 59 players can experience both the joy & significant social/educational benefits of learning and playing chess.
Our in-person programming will match players into groups based on skill, interest level & age. This allows coaches to identify and create the right training environment for each player (complete beginner - advanced competitors).
