Magnus Chess Academy

"My son has been in magnus chess academy for around 3-4 years. It has helped him play chess A LOT! He started from 1400 online and is now almost 2000 online!"

"A great program for kids who want to not just learn the game off chess but also enrich their skills along the way. Our soon did the chess academy for 2 school years and had just started doing tournaments. I believe it's a well run and organized program, worth the money."

"Been using these guys for years when it comes to signing up for lessons and the tournament. Very helpful and straightforward with their website. Glad my son has this to continue his chess mastery!"

"Coach Matt has organized an extremely effective Chess Program for our school. Our students and parents have high expectations for academic excellence. Coach Matt has met those expectations through the quality of his oversight, planning, and personal service. Our students are safe and challenged, and look forward to structured and positive experiences during each weekly lesson. Coach Matt responds quickly to questions or concerns and always adapts to meet any needs that arise. Thank you Coach Matt!!!"

"My son, elementary school level, has been doing the online academy for a year and really enjoys it. The small group classes were the right level of providing a safe and non-threatening space to compete and learn. Through Magnus we've learned of local tournaments and opportunities to grow his chess interest. Having access to the Magnus teachers during the National tournament, and a team room really helped the kids feel comfortable and supported. There are a lot of different offerings through Magnus Chess, ranging from online social tournaments, larger group teaching/lectures, to small group and dedicated tournament preps. You're likely to find the mix of opportunities that best fits. It has been a nice community to be a part of for our child."
