Welcome to the Summer Chess at Laurel Beach

created by Chess Olympiad Participant
& Local Milford Resident David Dawson

“… this chess program is an absolute gem. It not only teaches chess but also boosts confidence, concentration, and critical thinking. Highly recommended for any parent looking to nurture their child’s love for the game!” – Monika V., Milford, CT

The Dawson Chess Academy will help you and your family (children, parents & grandparents) learn the basics of chess and develop strategic thinking skills that will last a lifetime.

This program is convenient and local, and it’s an opportunity for your family to build friendships (new and old), share meaningful experiences together, and have fun while learning a skill that can grow with you over time.
