"My two sons (now 8 and 11) have been taking lessons from Alec for almost 3 years. Alec is an extremely talented chess player, and he teaches chess in an understandable and fun way. The virtual setup for lessons is amazing to be able to show game play and assess past games, and allows Alec to host a weekly tournament with kids all the same ages. My sons love their lessons with Alec and being part of the community of other students who they look forward to seeing on Saturdays." -Kristy (Parent)

Chess Scholarships!

There are many children who would love to take private chess lessons, and/or attend tournaments, but in

many cases it is difficult if not impossible for them to do so due to financial concerns. Alec’s Chess Club

is committed to helping as many of these kids as possible. Thanks to your past generosity, many children

have been able to receive either partial or full scholarships. But in order for this work to continue, I need your

help! Would you be willing to donate to the Alec’s Chess Club Scholarship Fund? No gift is too small. All

donations are tax-deductible. I hope you will consider being the difference-maker for a young chess student

who really needs your help.

"My son, Christopher, has been taking chess lessons with Alec for over a year now. During that time I have seen my son's chess skills increase. But, more importantly, Alec has created an environment where chess is fun and interesting. This is an environment in which my normally quiet son finds himself at home. Alec is easy going but does not permit any nonsense. Alec has a wonderful way of keeping a group of children focused on the task at hand without ever making a sharp comment or raising his voice. His focus is always on the positive, ever encouraging often making thoughtful suggestions. I am grateful that my child is a part of Alec's chess program and I would highly recommend it to anyone who has a child interested in the game of chess." - Cynthia (Parent)
