From students & families
This is where my child joined his first chess club. So many beautiful memories were made there, and it sparked his love for chess. Welcome back, Ross!
Appreciate the lessons and the follow-up ideas from the other studies, super valuable.
I really enjoyed my time in the Ekka Social Chess tournament.
