Chess Center offers lessons, kids' tournaments

Beginner or Intermediate Lessons are offered two days a week: choose Mondays from 4:30-6:00pm, or Tuesdays from 6:00-7:30pm (this lesson usually accommodates advanced players, too). Advanced Lessons are offered on Wednesdays from 4:30-6:00pm. Lessons run in 6-11 week cycles and once you join a class you must pay for all of the remaining lessons for that specific session. New players are welcome to start at any time throughout the school year to sign up, give us a call at (585) 442-2430 or just show up. Bring a friend.

Kids Tournaments: Every Saturday from 10:00am - 1:00pm at the Chess Center. The cost is $5 and players have the option of playing rated or un-rated games. If you chose to play in the "USCF" rated tournament, you must join the US Chess Federation (so the first time you play it's $16.00). These are great fun for the kids and they can win trophies! Tournaments are great for reinforcing recording of the moves and learning to budget your time.
