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.
