We'll be running Friday Night Quads every Friday night through April 20th. The qualification deadline for Seaside is Sunday, April 15th. The recent turnout has been substantial, with the March 9th FNQ shattering all our participation records: 54 players!  Please help us by registering in advance if at all possible.  You can use the link to the left.  Thank you.

It's all about the kids...

Our motto is much more than just a tagline, it's our mission statement. Chess Odyssey was founded in 2002 to help kids grow as chess players, and— more importantly—as people. That mission guides all our programs—chess clubs, chess camps, tournaments, and private instruction. It runs through our curriculum and program design, and is the foundation for our twin measures of success: learning and laughter.

Some of our kids are state champions.  (We've had the honor of training 51 of them over the past 14 years.)  Others are just learning how knights move.  Most are somewhere in between. We treasure each and every one of them.  Happy, excited kids who are growing as people and as chess players are what we are all about.
