Empowering students to think outside the box.
About Us
Chessletes is a Melbourne-based company that offers a comprehensive approach to chess, including both individual and school-based coaching. Led by experienced coaches, the program provides personalised lessons for individuals looking to improve their game, as well as group coaching for schools interested in incorporating chess into their curriculum. With a focus on developing critical thinking and problem-solving skills, our programs are an effective way for players to take their game to the next level.
Why we do what we do
Chess is more than just a game, it is a powerful tool for personal and academic development. Studies have shown that playing chess can improve cognitive skills such as problem-solving, critical thinking, and memory. Additionally, chess can improve focus, concentration, and decision-making abilities, which are valuable skills for success in any field.
For students, incorporating chess into their education can have a positive impact on their academic performance. Studies have shown that students who play chess score higher on standardized tests, have better grades, and perform better in mathematics and science. Furthermore, chess promotes teamwork and sportsmanship, helping to build valuable social and emotional skills.
For schools, incorporating chess into their curriculum can have a positive impact on their students' overall development and academic performance, as well as promoting a positive school culture. It is also a great way to engage students in a way different to traditional sports or physical activities.
