About Silver Knights Chess Academy

Learn chess with Silver Knights Chess Academy (formerly Magnus Chess Academy)! Over the last 15+ years, we've taught 100,000+ elementary and middle school students to play chess. Our students have won more than 50 state and national championships, but many students are beginners looking to learn a new skill and have FUN. In our online chess academy, kids ages 5-14 from all over the country (25+ states) learn chess, socialize, and have fun. Each student is placed in a small group class of no more than 8 students at their specific chess level. With over many options for class times per week it's easy to match your schedule. As students improve they move up a level. What to expect during a small group lesson: -25 minutes of an interactive lesson with one of our fantastic and experienced chess coaches, including 8 experts, masters, and grandmasters -30 minutes of online chess games against other students to practice their new skills In addition to class your student will have (free!) access to: -Interactive big group academy lessons every Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday -Online practice tournaments three times a week -Discounts for online camps and workshops -Special events: We've done four international matches with clubs from Australia, Columbia, and New Zealand, and guest lessons with famous chess players and instructors like World Champion Magnus Carlsen, Judit Polgar (best female player ever), Yasser Seirawan (4-time US Champion), Anish Giri (ranked #7 in the world), and more!

Reviews

“Our family has been with Magnus Chess Academy for many years. We are so happy that we discovered such a wonderful professional team! Both of our children love the school! Magnus Chess Academy team became our family -- such responsive, supportive, loving and caring people, who are ready to individualize, expand, help and so much more! All classes (big and small groups) are professionally prepared and make a great impact on a child's development. Our son, Anthony, currently participates in Kings mini group classes. He loves it and looks forward to each one of them. The tournaments are a big hit -- a great stimulation for a child to further develop chess skills, look forward to new challenges and also -- to make friends! Thank you for everything you all do!”
