No problem can withstand the assault of sustained thinking
The mission of Chess Girls DC is to build the confidence of Girls using Chess as a tool. Chess teaches persistence. The Chess Girls DC program develops a solid foundation of chess knowledge taught in a way that properly prepares girls to apply it in a productive fashion, in order that every maneuver becomes a way to practice effective thinking.
Chess Girls DC 501c3 Nonprofit Organization was launched in response to scientific evidence that self-confidence plays a tremendous role in a girl’s approach to course work that requires higher level thinking skills and challenging circumstances. Chess teaches the focus and strategic thinking used to successfully tackle college examinations. Scientific studies show that, confidence in one’s abilities has a significant impact on learning and performance on many levels. Self-belief about one’s ability determines how well students motivate themselves and persevere in the face of difficulty.
Chess Girls DC is a nonprofit organization created to provide a space for all girls to play Chess and Thrive.
On the anniversary of our 13th year, Chess Girls DC is most proud of the community that helps us provide resources to teach and assist girls with travel to compete in national tournaments and professional coaching to elevate their tournament performance.
Utilizing the benefits of chess to enhance analytical abilities and nurture STEM thinking, our vision is to prepare girls to be global citizens and leaders. They will be equipped to tackle complex issues and promote positive change in their communities through intellectual engagement and strategic thinking achieved by playing Chess.
Over the years, Chess Girls DC presented several approaches to teaching chess to students during the year and incorporating family engagement. Rest assured that our commitment to a solid foundation continues with our online classes.

Tips to Balance Chess and School Classes
It is definitely not easy to manage trying to improve in chess as well as academics (especially for high school students). Elementary students will have more time to practice chess. But there are ways to balance both improving in chess and academics. It’s very important to make the best use of the time we are given, and follow a daily plan to finish school homework and get time to improve in chess.
In a future article, I will recommend some very important chess books for beginners.
