我们强烈推介温哥华象棋学校，孩子在这个机构学习了一年多，进步非常大。 老师尽职尽责，不断激励孩子们坚持每天练习，完成习题，而且在这里能遇到很多热爱象棋的孩子，水平都很不错，有很多机会一起切磋进步。 非常感谢老师们的辛勤付出。

My son has learned chess for just half a year and has already participated in many competitions. We are very proud of him. Vancouver Chess School teaches every student with responsibility and is a great school for kids to have fun while learning something at!!

This is a fun place to start learning chess. The teacher is patient and experienced. Group classes gather same level players together and are interactive and engaging. There are regular tournaments that give players more chances to practice and progress. My son loves this chess school and I'm happy I have made a right choice for him.

Vancouver Chess School is fantastic! VCS is very well organized, structured, and provides learners of all levels with opportunities and support to improve their skills.. or to just have fun playing chess! As parents of a young chess fanatic, we've been looking for opportunities to feed our son's passion and make progress with his chess journey. We've tried a few local clubs and groups with mixed experiences. We're super glad to have found VCS and all the programs and tournaments that VCS hosts. Our experience with the coaches/instructors has been super positive. Gyan is patient and amazing at encouraging students. Tadas was also fantastic (teaching our son at a previous level). I'm sure the entire VCS team is encouraging and supportive to all students. The weekly lessons (offered in person / online) are well structured by introducing new concepts, tactics, positions, and reinforcing previous lessons. The approach to the lessons is wonderful at encouraging students to explore different concepts, translating the lessons into in-class tournaments, and building confidence (win or lose). Homework is assigned via the online platform. Each week, our son looks forward to the lessons and the homework! VCS also hosts regular online and in-person CMA-rated tournaments for students to compete in. These are well organized and provide students with opportunities to use their knowledge and challenge other students in a competitive setting, hopefully increasing their CMA ratings! I'd highly recommend Vancouver Chess School and the VCS team to anyone looking for a place to learn and improve at chess! VCS is an outstanding organization at keeping students excited and engaged with a great team of mentors, opportunities, and experiences.

An excellent place to learn chess! The teachers are all very professional and eager to teach their students new material. My son had a lot of fun learning at this school.

The school teaches professional chess technique and encourages sportsmanship. It meets where your child's level is whether it is beginner or advanced. It is an exciting journey for a child to keep improving and know that the coaches are always there to support their growth. The school hosts many CMA rated chess tournaments and organizes special functions to promote chess in the community. All events are super popular and always bring a good number of students and their families to join. It surely created lots of fond memories for us. We are happy that we have a world class chess school in Vancouver.
