About Our In-Person Chess Classes

Summer Chess at RSM-MetroWest

The royal game of chess comes back this summer to RSM-MetroWest.  Not only it is a lot of fun, but it is also a great tool to improve your child’s cognitive development, decision-making, creative, and critical thinking skills. We will cover opening, middle, and endgame strategic play during our summer program. Classes will be offered at two levels: Fundamental and (higher) Emerging Levels.

The 2025 Summer Chess class is Now Enrolling

Classes will meet twice a week on Tuesdays and Thursdays for 6 weeks starting on Tuesday, June 24, and ending on Thursday, July 31.

Summer Chess I.  Fundamental Level (grades 1-4)

Tuesdays & Thursdays: 5:30 PM – 6:30 PM

This class is for students who are just learning the game or those with little experience. A student may know piece movement but does not understand the importance of where to position pieces and has difficulty completing a game without help. No placement interview is required.

Summer Chess II.  Emerging Level (grades 3-6)

Tuesdays & Thursdays: 6:45 PM – 7:45 PM

This class is for students who have some experience and know the fundamentals of piece movement, the importance of piece positioning, and can complete a game successfully without help.  The goal of this class is to develop the mastery further and prepare students for tournaments. A placement interview will be required for this level.  The instructor will contact all registered students to schedule an online interview.

FEES: $360 for 12 classes.

Instructor: Lawyer Times

Chess FAQ

Q: How old are the children in the class?

A: We accept children of all ages

Q: What are the minimum skill requirements to enter the Chess I classes?

A: For the beginner class the only requirement is that the child knows the names of the pieces and the basic moves.

Children will progress as the class goes on.

Q: My child has been playing chess for a while. How do I know which class to sign up my child for?

A:. If your child has previously attended our Chess I class for one or two semesters, or has participated in a beginner chess program elsewhere,  he or she would likely be eligible for Chess II. The final determination of the class appropriate for your child will be done by the Chess Masters.   

Q: How can children of different ages and skills learn in the same classroom?

A: In chess, younger interested kids easily bridge the age gap. Even in competitive scholastic tournaments, most formats allow kids to play each other with up to a 4-year difference in ages. Within the class, children are grouped by age, and individual, skill-appropriate attention is given to each child.

Our short classes and workshops are not refundable

TESTIMONIALS

“I have been going to RSM-MetroWest in Framingham for eight years now, and I have loved every year of it. Going to RSM has helped me excel in school, and develop my love for mathematics. The classes not only support the school curriculum but also go beyond it by challenging students with more advanced problems. I love the challenge, and I believe it has only made my interest in mathematics grow stronger. I am truly grateful for the knowledge and skills that it has given me, and I would not be where I am now if it weren’t for RSM-MetroWest.”

– Prakalya Chandrasekar, 10th grader at the Advanced Math & Science Academy

I enjoy advanced math because I am learning about new methods. One of my favorites is the mushroom. With that, you can find the LCM. I like my teacher, Mrs. Alla Farizon. She is very nice and she makes sure you understand the topic. I also like friends in the class. They are fun to play with at break. At my regular school, in my math class, there are a lot of kids who complain about math. But here no one complains about it, so it is much nicer. Every student is excited to learn and the best part is….. it’s math!

– Student, level 5

My son had a wonderful experience at RSM, Framingham, his mathskills improved considerably and was challenged enough to participate in competitions!! Needless to say his school math became very easy for him.

- Vishruta Parikh, August 2018

My favorite thing about advanced math is learning new things. I get new problems to solve. My teacher, Mr. Gene (Sigalovsky) is fun. He explains how to do a method to solve the problem. My teacher is very nice and he is also very fun

- Student, level 3.

I want to take this opportunity to thank you Anna, and the School of Mathematics, for broadening our son's field of vision on mathematics. He has seen many topics and ways to approach them that he would not have had access to otherwise.

- Dar and Einat Efroni, parents of a high school student, 2015

Our son has been with RSM-MetroWest for several years. At the end of the 7th grade he took the Math SAT and earned a perfect score of 800. We just wanted to thank Russian Math for preparing him so well.
