Google Reviews
ChessMax, and coach Mikhail, have been great instructors, providing solid growth as well as a constructive, structured, and nurturing framework for that growth.
My 5,5 old twins have been enjoying chess for almost 2 years at Chess Max Greenwich. Coach Eric is patient with the little ones. The admin office is helpful and flexible with make up classes etc. I will continue as long as the kids remain interested & engaged. I would be great if they had some digital/age-appropriate content to practice at home.
My son has been studying here for almost two years and has learned so much from Coach Arrik. They host tournaments every other Sunday, and the kids absolutely love participating! It’s a great environment with caring coaches and staff, plus a convenient location. Highly recommended!
