⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“We were lucky to find this NYChessKids. Overall, my son, my wife, and I are satisfied with their classes, tournaments, and camps. Most importantly, it is fast growing. The afterschool class programs are expanded across many more schools, their tournaments and camps are attracting more and more kids. The teachers are nice and the founder is very thorough and eager to keep going forward. He is very proactive in answering any concerns or questions, as well. Also, they are active in incorporating new technologies, so they develop many new features in their web site and online chess programs, which can give kids more choices. All in all, a good and complete chess program.  —Sungsoo Lee
