Chess & Economics!
I am amazed by the many parallels between chess and business. Back when I was reading for a Managerial Economics course in my MBA program, I came across the following quotation:
“Successful strategy results from applying consistent principles to constantly changing business conditions.” --- From Economics of Strategy by Besanko, Dranove, Shanley, and Schaefer. (New Jersey: John Wiley & Sons, Inc. 2007.)
Summer Chess Day-Camp in Santa Barbara
Another successful week of chess camp! Brian and Andrew instructed kids of various ages and skill levels in an exciting week. The children learned valuable chess skills and strategies and ended their days with competitive chess tournaments. By the end of the week, all the kids left the camp with more experience, more knowledge, and a smile on their faces.
Success in L.A. Chess Day-Camp!
We had a terrific Chess Day-Camp in L.A. this summer.
The children were inspired and enthusiastic about chess, and it was very hard for kids and staff alike to say goodbye on the last day. Many thanks to all the supportive parents and staff! See you at camp next year!
Are all classes taught by Andrew Svehaug?
Originally, all classes were taught by Andrew. To help more kids through chess, Andrew has trained several highly qualified instructors to assist him in bringing the ACI training methods to more schools.
What would you recommend for someone who does not yet know how to move the pieces?
We recommend that these students register for one of our after school classes where we will be able to get them playing in a hurry! If we don't have a chess class at your school yet, fill out a New Class request form and we'll be in touch!
How much do your programs cost?
We are happy to offer our services at absolutely no cost to the hosting school. Both the Traditional and the Online Program are parent-funded.
