Noble and exciting, discreet but fiery, chess is a unique expression of the human spirit that teaches a child to be a fighter, a thinker, a sage, without stopping to play.

It could be your child’s dream.

The Chess

the most noble, subtle and exciting idea that still lasts.

Chess was born in India, where it is believed that chess appeared around 600s BC. However, there are many theories about where chess originated from: China, Russia, India, Central Asia, Pakistan…The game of chess went through many changes, and only in the 19th century, we got the form and the game rules that are known today.

    KUWAIT

    My daughters started to take classes with coach Marija from 2018 and from that time until today they are the best players in their category in Kuwait Zainah is 11 years old and Lailah is 7. I watched Marija giving lessons to my daughters on board and online for many years and I can tell that she is one of these teachers who attracts children’s attention and they don’t want to miss her class! Marija is very well organized she always keeps track of the progress and focuses on both strength and weakness of her students by all aspects even personality. One of the most valuable things from Coach Marija’s  lessons is that she always shares her personal life experiences with the children which is very inspiring and encouraging. And most important is that Coach Marija is always positive with children which is critical for a child to love the game and continue to practice it. Technically I noticed that the classes are very interactive and the childe is always paying attention and taking action. At last I think as a parent that coach Marija is one of the best teachers in the world
