CSC was delighted to welcome over 300 children from 30 different primary schools for two days of chess activities in Manchester Square, London. Schools from as far afield as Leeds, Manchester, and York visited the capital for a day of chess fun: lessons from CSC tutors, simultaneous games against a chess master, consultation games on giant sets, and a tournament against their peers.

All participating schools receive weekly chess lessons from CSC. Schools interested finding out more about our Schools’ Programme should contact us using our online form.
