What makes the DIG Chess group classes Unique?

  • Quality coaches that make the lessons fun.
  • Each student can join the DIG Chess Team Challenge/$25. There are two teams, Team Bishops or Team Knights. The students are split evenly so that both teams have similar level players. Students obtain points for their team in many different ways. Here are some ways that students can earn points: 1 point by playing a 10 minutes game on Chess.com, 2 points by watching a chess video on YouTube and emailing a coach what they learned, 3 points for competing in a rated chess tournament, 4 points for increasing his or hers chess.com or USCF rating by 100 points and 5 points for teaching a lesson to a DIG class. Next DIG Chess Team Challenge will be announced soon.
  • Students have the opportunity to volunteer to coach kids that don’t have the means to pay for chess coaching. The DIG Chess Team has many free chess classes in underprivileged locations.

    Dig chess is great! All the coaches are very knowledgeable, encouraging, and fun to work with. My son loves to learn chess there!

      Yulia Coggin – Paul’s mom – Easton CT

      My experience with DIG Elite team has been wonderful. My son Paul, 9 years old has been receiving outstanding chess learning experience. The coaches are very dedicated to provide top chess knowledge and personalized support. There have been very easy communication between parents and coaches, all questions have been answered fast and professionally. Paul looks forward to each chess lesson to improve his skills, get socially engaged with other players and build teamwork experience. Paul has been enthusiastic about his progress since he joined DIG Elite team. DIG Elite team has been teaching every angle that definitely helps him to better his performance. Chess is #1 favorite activity for Paul and that would not be achieved without help from DIG Elite team coaches. In conclusion, I strongly believe that the chess learning experience Paul received at DIG Elite team has been awesome and continues to be!
