We at Summit School of Chess were thrilled to read about McDonald’s on Kenmount Road in St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador, becoming the first in Canada to incorporate chess into their Family Fun Night! This initiative, spearheaded by avid chess player Randy Green, is a fantastic example of how to make chess accessible and engaging for all ages.
At Summit, we believe that chess is more than just a game; it’s a powerful tool that can enhance cognitive skills, problem-solving abilities, and creative thinking. It’s wonderful to see McDonald’s recognizing the value of chess and creating a welcoming atmosphere for families to come together and enjoy this enriching activity.
We commend Randy Green and the team at McDonald’s for their commitment to promoting chess and fostering a love for the game in their community. This initiative perfectly aligns with our mission at Summit School of Chess: to make learning chess fun, affordable, and accessible to everyone.
We encourage other businesses to follow McDonald’s lead and consider incorporating chess into their programs and events. By working together, we can create a world where everyone has the opportunity to discover the joy and benefits of playing chess.
Here’s what we can learn from McDonald’s successful Family Fun Night:
Chess is for everyone: No matter your age, skill level, or background, chess offers a fun and rewarding challenge. By providing accessible opportunities like McDonald’s Family Fun Night, we can remove barriers and encourage more people to give chess a try.
Make it fun and engaging: Chess can be intimidating for newcomers. McDonald’s approach of offering a relaxed and welcoming environment, combined with friendly guidance from experienced players like Randy Green, shows how to make chess learning enjoyable and inclusive.
Chess builds community: Playing chess together strengthens bonds and creates lasting memories for families. McDonald’s initiative demonstrates the power of chess to bring people together and foster a sense of community.
We at Summit School of Chess are excited to see the positive impact this McDonald’s initiative has on the St. John’s community and beyond. We hope it serves as an inspiration for others to follow suit and promote the amazing benefits of chess to a wider audience.
