Chess in Schools
Studies have shown that chess can have a profound social and educational impact on children. BCF is committed to empowering as many kids as possible by providing them with opportunities to learn and play chess. We believe that the best way to achieve this is through partnerships with schools. Our Chess in Schools program is currently focused on helping schools start and maintain chess clubs and providing two annual scholastic chess competitions: Bahamas Scholastic Team Chess Championship and the Bahamas Scholastic Individual Chess Championship. These initiatives help encourage and equip students to embrace and develop their chess skills and strategy.
