K	Ken Janpon on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Vancouver Chess School is a very well run and well organized endeavour, and kudos to the dedicated people running it. We'd been looking for chess classes for our son for a while but what made the difference now was the opening of online classes which seem perfect for chess -- this way all games can be recorded, replayed, and studied later. All the coaches are extremely patient and kind with the kids, while at the same time offering very rigorous chess education. My son made enormous progress within mere months of starting classes, and his interest in chess went from 'passing' to 'completely hooked'. Thank you, VanChess!
C	C Wu on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A wonderful place for kids to learn and play chess! In addition to weekly classes and tournaments, Vancouver Chess School does a great job of organizing and running the Regional qualifiers and the Grade Provincials. In 2019, the Chess'n Math Association, in collaboration with Vancouver Chess School, organized the Grade Nationals (Canadian Chess Challenge) which was hosted in Vancouver for the first time. My kids participated in the past couple Nationals (the 2021 version was held online due to the pandemic), and they really enjoyed it! Each time, VCS organized training sessions for Team BC, provided the kids with uniforms (which they loved), and went above and beyond to make sure the team was cohesive and ready to checkmate! Maxim and Gyan, the main organizers, are both extremely dedicated and supportive, and VCS programs/events are always well-organized and professional.

The school has immensely experienced and understanding teachers who ensure that kids have a solid grasp of concepts. They help review and analyze games and are very enthusiastic and encouraging.
J	Jennifer Fu on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Vancouver Chess School is a great platform for kids who love chess. My little girl enjoys the time learning and playing chess at VCS. The coaches are very experienced and patient with kids. The training program is well designed that suits chess learners of different levels. Online classes and on-site classes are both available for the parents to choose from, very flexible. There’s online homework, class material after each class, and kids can practice on the Chess Hero platform any time they want. Aside from the regular class, I also encourage my daughter to participate the tournaments, so she can challenge other chess players and have a lot of fun. Highly recommend!

A	Aljo Thomas on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ My son loves to play chess and we have been looking for a platform to play and learn chess. Luckily we found Vancouver Chess school. My son got an opportunity to play at Vancouver Chess school for the Monthly Chess competition and other competitions. So far it has been going great, Vancouver Chess school has been great in teaching with some tactics and helping my son to improve, in the recent training he was given training from Grand Masters. I would highly recommend If someone wants to learn Chess from Basic or intermediate or advanced level as they have really good Coaches to help those who want to explore the Chess or in learning advanced tactics in Chess.
A	Andrew Eisenberg on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ We've been taking our daughter to Vancouver Chess School for the last 4 years or so. She loves chess and this school and its teachers are a large part of why. The teachers at this school take a personal approach to their lessons. Each class is small, social, and fun. The school hosts many tournaments that are open to students as well as to non-students. The school meets your child where they are. If they are beginners, they can help them learn chess. If they are already hooked on the game, then they offer serious coaching and ways to improve their game.
