The 1st-ever ChessKid National Festival sounds like THE DREAM for young chess players. Over-the-top fun, celebrity sightings, and serious competition – it brings online chess excitement to life!

Imagine the thrill of meeting your chess heroes, playing in epic tournaments, and even trying out wacky events like Chess Fencing! At Summit School of Chess, we make events like this a reality for Denver-area students.

Why Summit School of Chess Delivers the ChessKid Experience

While we may not have a Super Soaker Challenge (yet!), we share the same passion the ChessKid Festival inspires:

  • Chess is FUN: We ditch the boring lectures! Our lessons, camps, and tournaments make chess a thrilling adventure.
  • Building a Community: Chess isn’t just about the board; it’s about connecting with other passionate kids and inspiring coaches.
  • Star Power: We tap into the energy of online chess celebrities and bring in special guests to make our events memorable.
  • Denver’s Chess Destination: We’re the go-to for school programs, online lessons, tournaments, and camps across the Greater Denver Area and Colorado Springs.
