Four Knights Chess Academy was founded on a simple belief: chess is one of the best ways to help children develop focus, confidence, and critical thinking.
Grandmasters Leonid Kritz and Eugene Perelshteyn created a curriculum that combines world-class chess instruction with engaging, child-centered teaching.Whether a child is playing their very first game or preparing for tournaments, every lesson builds skills that extend far beyond the chessboard.

Chess is a foundation for the intellectual skills children apply in
every discipline they pursue.
Learn to think ahead and solve problems quickly.
Build working memory by recalling patterns, tactics, and prior games.
Develop focus while making thoughtful decisions under pressure.
Plan ahead, evaluate options, and make better decisions.

Every class follows a clear structure:
Children immediately apply new ideas through guided games, puzzles, and real matches, making every lesson engaging and memorable.
Our goal isn't just to create stronger chess players.
We help children become confident thinkers, resilient learners, and creative problem-solvers.
Our mission is simple: to help children become confident, curious, and resilient through the game we love most.
We're always looking for passionate coaches and educators to help shape the next generation of young thinkers.
