Everything families ask before their first Saturday. Can't find yours? Call or WhatsApp us.
Getting started
Yes. The programme runs from beginners to advanced, and children are grouped by level so nobody is thrown in at the deep end.
Ages 4 to 18. The little ones learn through stories and games; older players work on real tournament chess.
Not for class. Boards and pieces are provided. A board at home helps a lot with practice between Saturdays.
Saturdays
Every Saturday: a morning session from 10:00 AM to 12:00 PM and an afternoon session from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM. Children can come to one or both.
The Jamaica Association for Children with Learning Disabilities (JACLD), 7 Leinster Road, Kingston 5, beside St. Hugh's High School at Cross Roads.
A water bottle, a snack and a pencil. Everything else is at the venue.
FIDE Master Malaku Lorne, who has represented Jamaica at the Chess Olympiad five times.
