The Richard Weekes Chess Academy
operates at the moment in London and Kent.
Richard is passionate about chess and
decided to provide lessons for children and
young people on how to play the game and
to promote it as a social activity. Chess is a
powerful educational tool that can motivate
people to learn and can play an important
role in educational, social and personal
development.
Richard believes that “Chess is a game
children (of any age – and yes, big children
too!) can play most of their life, and it gives
them a sense of achievement.
Through playing Chess, children learn many
skills and techniques that help them to take
responsibility for their actions.
The Chess knowledge they receive will stay
with them and empower them to succeed in
whatever they choose to do.”
Using chess as a learning tool to strengthen
your mind is one of the best games there is
for developing logical and precise thinking.
It’s also fairly easy to learn. There is clear
evidence to show that children who play
chess perform better in school; have
improved calculating ability; are more
imaginative, creative and self-motivated.
That’s why Richard believes learning and
playing chess makes a real difference to
each child’s life and this gives him lots of
opportunities when teaching, to help
shape their attitudes to learning and
their mindset too.
