Help Us Learn and Practice Our Chess Skills!

Help me give my students some competition chess boards! We are learning and practicing but now are ready to compete. Our existing boards are missing pieces and not up to the standards.

My Project

Hi everyone-

Our after school board game club is a haven for students at the end of the day to work on both their social and their chess skills!

We currently have about twenty students who play on old boards that are missing pieces and are not up to the standard of competition level.

The exciting news is that we have recently signed up to join a tournament round here in town and are expanding our numbers! More and more students are coming to join our club but we do not have enough boards for everyone to play at once.

We chose these boards because they are both extremely durable and portable (unlike the other sets that are available through Amazon). We want your donation to last for YEARS!
