School's closed during the year?... Don't worry, we'll be open!

The academy will be closed until Tuesday, September 4th when we will re-open for classes. We hope everyone enjoys the rest of the summer!

We are very excited to see that Dean of Chess Academy has just been reviewed by chess-site.com. You can read the full article here... chess-site.com/chess-clubs/de…

Our classes are starting this week and our instructors are looking forward to sharing some instructive games from tournaments that they have played in over the summer break.

The academy is open this evening but we would strongly advise against unnecessary travel as the roads are particularly bad. There will not be any league this evening. If you do not make it for class today then you can make up the class during the remainder of the session.
