The recent surge in popularity of chess at Le Lycee Francais de San Diego highlights the profound impact chess can have on young minds. At Summit School of Chess, we are thrilled to witness how this timeless game is enriching students’ lives across the country, and we are excited to see similar successes here in the Greater Denver Area. Chess for kids is growing around the country!
