Aloha Chess Club
Welcome back to the Manoa Elementary Chess Club! I'm Coach Scott and I'm excited to for my second year of teaching chess at Manoa Elementary. I've been a full-time chess instructor for the last three years, teaching after school chess programs and summer camps at schools across Oahu. I'm also the President of the Hawaii Chess Federation, a non-profit organization committed to growing chess in Hawaii.
The Chess Club is open to students of all abilities and experience levels. New players will be introduced to the rules of chess, how each piece moves, and simple strategies to get started. Through guided lessons, fun activities, and friendly games, students will build confidence and enjoy the challenge of learning something new. Experienced players will sharpen their tactical skills, learn advanced strategies, and practice thinking ahead and visualizing the board. Each session will help students become stronger, more confident players. Regardless of their level, students will strengthen critical skills like focus, patience, and problem-solving, all while having fun with classmates who are learning too!
The club will meet on Fridays after school from 2:15pm - 3:30pm, which includes a 15-minute snack break followed by an hour of instruction and gameplay.
The Chess Club is led by Coach Scott, a nationally rated player and former member of his National Championship-winning high school chess team.
