With deep regret, we have to close the Holland Chess Academy. Coach Mark is moving out of town and retiring and Coach Andrew is unable to keep the club going on his own.
Many students have passed through the academy and we appreciate the parents support too.
Good luck to everyone and hope you continue with your interest in Chess ♟️♟️♟️♟️
