Think B4U Move

Always "Think B4U Move” is the core mission of the Big Chair Chess Club, Inc. located in the Nation’s Capital of Washington DC. 

 

The organization teaches chess to inner-city children and adults, not only as a board game, but also as an application to life skills, such as improving one’s concentration and self-discipline.  Members of the Big Chair Chess Club team have competed in the National Scholastic Chess Tournament in Nashville, TN and Charlotte, NC - as well as the Super-National Chess Tournament in Kansas City, MI and won trophies. 

 

The Big Chair Chess Club, Inc. has trained and coached Kimball Elementary School students through seven (7) years of city championships.  School administrators report that students involved in the chess programs have shown remarkable improvement in behavior, concentration, and test scores.  Students learn that their decisions in life, as on the game board, have consequences.  Participants build self-confidence and self-esteem. The Big Chair Chess Club, Inc. is a non-profit organization under IRS 501(c)(3).  The organization does not receive any support from the government or the U.S. Chess Federation.
