Egham Chess Academy

शतरंज अकादमी

We provide local community with a place where children can learn to play chess and/or improve their existing skills. Our ultimate goal is for children to reach a level of play that will suffice to compete in chess tournaments. The exceptional few will become chess masters.

Danek School of Chess was founded by Mat Uramovski, an expert chess player with more than twenty five years of tournament experience. He competes at 4NCL for the Fermented Sharks, the Hounslow Chess Club, the Slough Chess Club and the Middlesex County League. Mat holds a Baccalaureate in Art History, Baccalaureate in Film Production and a Postgraduate Certificate in Online Education. He teaches chess at Langley Hall Primary Academy and Castleview School in Langley.

Recent studies have shown that chess has a particularly positive effect on the development of primary school children. These findings have convinced educators in Hungary, Spain and Armenia to officially adopt chess as part of the school curriculum. A number of private schools in England have taken a similar approach.
