BSI Chess Team

The BSI Chess Team grows bigger and stronger each year thanks to dedicated parent volunteers, especially coach Vlad!

There are several ways to get your kids involved in chess at BSI:

participate in the chess enrichments during school hours

Here are a few reasons why it’s good for kids to play chess:

Chess is fun!
Chess helps foster creativity, logical and critical thinking
Chess encourages and rewards those who persevere and work hard
Chess improves concentration and memory
Chess enhances reading and math skills
Chess forces to think strategically and foresee the consequences
On average, students who play chess score 10 percentage points higher on reading tests than their peers who don’t
