Benefits of Chess

Chess is a fascinating game played for centuries throughout the world. It is a proven, internationally recognized academic learning tool that allows students of all ages to improve their logical reasoning and problem solving skills.

Chess develops memory and concentration, tactical and strategic thinking, self esteem, self discipline and sportsmanship in a competitive environment.

Life lessons learned through Chess include setting goals and priorities, viewing obstacles as challenges, learning from mistakes, patience, persistence and decision making under time constraints.

  Mission Statement

 The Monmouth Chess School and Club     is dedicated to promoting the benefits of   Chess through a balance of instruction,    study and play.
