How to find your child's new rating.

11/24/2025

Many of our players (including kindergartners) are showing tremendous promise in chess. Moments like this make what we do worthwhile. Our chess program has over 30 local kids.

Thank you to the supporters from yesterday — it means more than you know.

This program gives kids confidence, focus, and a community.
If you’ve ever seen a child light up when they solve a problem — that’s what you’re supporting.

You can support our efforts to expand our program beyond after school to statewide competition, quarterly chess camps, and monthly local tournaments in Yellow Springs.

For 10 years, Yellow Springs kids have grown through this program—learning focus, confidence, and leadership. Many of the faces you see here started as beginners and today they mentor the next generation.

These aren’t just players. They are your neighbors, your kids’ role models, and the heart of a program that has kept Yellow Springs Chess alive for a decade.

We’re now raising funds to expand materials, add more teaching staff, support scholarships, and grow our year-round events so even more children can benefit.

If you believe in strong minds, safe spaces, and opportunities that build character, this is your moment to lift the program forward.

Yellow Springs families—Village kids are growing fast, and so is their need for strong critical-thinking skills and positive community activities. The Yellow Springs Kids Chess Program has served dozens of students each year with structured instruction, Summer Chess Camps, and a safe, focused after school chess program

We’re expanding to reach even more children in 2026, and we need your support. Your contribution goes directly toward classroom materials, teaching resources, sponsorships, year around chess seminars, seasonal camps and holiday events beyond the after school program

If our program or efforts have any value to you—if you want to see the return of a vibrant chess community for kids in Yellow Springs—consider giving today. Every amount helps us provide a stronger, long-term program for village kids.
