Next Sunday February 9th. we're going to have our yearly celebration of chess at BSI. This year we've made some changes. Elementary school section is going to have championship tournaments of every grade. I can assure you it's going to be quite a battle in 1st, 3rd and 5th grade sections where almost all our strongest players signed up already you don't want to miss it ;)) We have only 4 kids signed for 4th grade and 3 for Middle/Open championships need more children there.
Except the tournaments our incredible chess moms are doing something that none do at chess events. They're preparing different chess activities for kids who doesn't want to play in tournaments yet. Arts and crafts, slime, doing puzzles, stencil art and even chess bingo it will be a chess experience your child is not going to forget. Even if you don't play chess your children do. Every kid in BSI knows how to play chess so please come and spend one brainy day with us.

Non-Player Ticket - $20 For chess beginners (grades K-2). Participate in all activities except the tournament. Add to Cart

Use chess to burn calories :))

You wouldn't think that chess players, who sit for hours on end and only extend their arms from time to time, would struggle with weight loss. But they do. Inside the very real, very bizarre metabolic phenomenon gripping chess.
