Student Spotlight: Discover Their Journey

At Chesscolastics, we are dedicated to helping our students ignite their inner passion for chess. We aim to provide a supportive and engaging environment that fosters growth and curiosity. Our approach goes beyond simply teaching the rules of the game. We strive to inspire a love for the game through curated instruction, encouraging creativity, and challenging students with progressively more complex puzzles and positions.

By instilling a sense of discipline, focus, and strategic thinking, we guide our students on a journey where they not only learn how to play chess but develop a deeper appreciation for its complexities. We believe that chess is a powerful tool for building critical thinking, problem-solving, and decision-making skills, all of which extend far beyond the chessboard.

A Closer Look at Mihin Walpola from Langley, British Columbia

“One day, I was working on the computer when I came across a chess game. I did not know how the pieces moved, so I asked my dad. He showed me how to play and even played games with me. I became so interested in the game that I asked him to get me chess lessons.

What I like most about chess is the satisfaction of solving complex positions, whether in a game or out. Just knowing that seconds earlier, I thought the position was impossible to win, and then solving it, is incredibly satisfying.

When I first started chess, I only knew how the pieces moved. Chesscolastics helped me hone and improve my skills. They also instilled in me a burning desire to always keep trying and never give up.”
