WELCOME TO BELAKOVSKAIA CHESS ACADEMY -
a Unique Fast-Learning Chess Program for Children
in the Southwest U.S.


THE UNIQUE TRAINING PROGRAM IS DESIGNED AND PRESENTED BY ANJELINA BELAKOVSKAIA   –     A 3-TIME U.S. WOMEN’S CHESS CHAMPION, WOMAN INTERNATIONAL GRANDMASTER, WORLD CHAMPION AMONG STUDENTS (USSR TEAM) AND LEADER OF THE US OLYMPIC CHESS TEAM

My philosophy is to challenge kids through fast pace, very creative, yet highly organized and logical experience, that broadens their horizons, amazes them at what they are capable of and sets them off to explore and compete.

My goal is to help students develop critical thinking skills that they can utilize on the chess board and beyond, simultaneously preparing them to the States and National competitions.

Chess and Academic Achievements: Numerous studies have proven the benefit of chess in boosting academic achievements -  http://www.psmcd.net/otherfiles/BenefitsOfChessInEdScreen2.pdf - and I strongly believe in it from my own experience - most of my students are taking Advanced Math, Reading and other subjects.

Fall Semester Schedule: Sundays: Aug 17, 24, Sep 7, 14, 28, Oct 5, 19, 26, Nov 16, 23, Dec 7, 14 (12 classes)
