Day & Knight Chess Club is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit dedicated to transforming lives through the game of chess. We provide structured, high quality chess education to students of all skill levels, from absolute beginners to competitive players, while creating a fun, inclusive, and growth focused environment.
Our programs go beyond the board. Through after school classes, mentorship workshops, tournaments, and academy training, we use chess to build focus, confidence, and critical thinking. Every class is led by passionate instructors who care about student development on and off the board.
Whether we're teaching strategy, hosting tournaments, or mentoring students toward their college and career goals, our mission stays the same. We're here to make a lasting, meaningful impact through the power of chess, one student and one move at a time.
Built for students who compete. Rook Division sharpens every aspect of competitive chess — from opening preparation to endgame execution under tournament pressure.
Strong fundamentals, deeper strategy. Bishop Division is where students transition from reacting to planning — learning to control the board and compete with confidence.
You know the rules. Now it's time to play with purpose. Knight Division builds the tactical habits and pattern recognition that separate casual players from competitive ones.
Brand new to chess? This is where every player starts. Pawn Division builds the rules, the basics, and the confidence to play your first real game.
