Chess for Kids
Chess develops logical thinking, and promotes imagination and creativity. It develops the capability to predict and foresee consequences of actions, and inspires selfmotivation. Chess is a test of patience, nerves, will power and concentration. It improves schoolwork and grades. Aren’t all these good character traits we want to develop in our children? What better way than playing! Join Albert Avidor, an engineer and enthusiastic chess player. His words: I began playing chess when I was 15 years old with my grandfather in Turkey – we played at least once a week. Then, when I was in university I played chess with my friends every day. I taught my grandson to play chess when he was 10 years old and for the last five years I spend one month every year playing chess with him when he visits Canada from England! I am looking forward to meeting you and teaching you this wonderful game! Ages: 7-11 years.
