The chess world is abuzz with excitement after 17-year-old Indian prodigy Gukesh Dommaraju’s historic win at the Candidates Tournament! Here at Summit School of Chess, we’re celebrating this incredible achievement and what it means for the future of chess, especially for young players like yours.
Gukesh’s Inspiring Journey
Gukesh’s story is a powerful testament to the dedication, strategic thinking, and love for the game that fuel chess mastery. These are all qualities we nurture at Summit School of Chess, where we provide a supportive and enriching environment for children of all ages and skill levels to develop their chess prowess.

The Benefits of Chess for Children in Denver
Here in the Greater Denver Area, Summit School of Chess is proud to be a hub for passionate young chess players. We believe that chess is more than just a game; it’s a powerful tool that can benefit children in countless ways. Studies have shown that chess can improve:
- Logical thinking and problem-solving skills: Chess requires players to think several moves ahead, analyze situations critically, and make strategic decisions.
- Concentration and focus: Maintaining focus throughout a chess game is essential, and this skill translates into other areas of life, like academics and extracurricular activities.
- Memory and creativity: Chess players need to remember complex positions and patterns on the board, while also exploring creative solutions to challenges they face during the game.
- Self-esteem and confidence: Mastering new chess skills and achieving milestones in tournaments can significantly boost a child’s confidence and self-belief.
