Coach Mike teaches students about chess
CBA is pleased to partner with Hampton Roads Chess Association (HRCA) to offer our very first chess club.
HRCA is a 501(c)(3) dedicated to bringing the life benefits of chess to people of all ages and abilities throughout our region. Numerous studies show that chess improves focus, impulse control, decision-making, planning and organizing, time management, calculating, pattern recognition, the ability to overcome obstacles and change plans based on current circumstances, resiliency, self-confidence/esteem, and more.
Special thanks to Christina Schweiss and Coach Mike Williams with the HRCA for their partnership!
