Furthermore, they teach leadership development skills to encourage players to communicate and to teach each others what they know and how they learn. Their coaches are educators, activists, farmers, chess education enthusiasts, parents, students, and leaders. They recruit coaches who are passionate about the ways that chess improves kids’ classroom performance and social development.
