Excellent chess development for my children
My two children have been training here for 8 months. The coaches are incredibly patient and the structured curriculum has taken both kids from complete beginners to confident players. Highly recommend for any parent looking to develop their child's chess.

Great environment and professional coaching
Professional setup with experienced coaches. My son Amara has improved dramatically in just a few months. The club participates in tournaments regularly which gives the kids real competitive experience.

Highly structured and results-driven
What I appreciate most is how the coaches track each child's progress systematically. They share detailed reports every month. My daughter Cynthia has gone from knowing the basics to winning school-level competitions.

Good overall but could use weekend sessions
The coaching quality is excellent and Brian looks forward to every session. The only thing I'd suggest is adding Saturday morning sessions for parents who can't do weekday drop-offs.

Transformed my daughter's focus and discipline
Chess training here has done wonders for Fatuma's concentration at school too. The coaches emphasise patience and strategy which she now applies to her studies. Really glad we found this club.

Great value for the monthly fee
Compared to other programmes in Nairobi, this club offers excellent quality at a very reasonable cost. Esther has been improving every month. My only feedback would be to have a parent portal to track progress more closely.
