Since 1993 Southside chess instructor Jerry Ramey has guided elementary, middle school and high school students to more than 75 state titles. Two students have won national championships and three have achieved the title of Chess Master. Read more...
Upcoming Events
Due to the Coronavirus, Southside Chess has suspended (probably until the fall of 2021) all in-person school chess clubs, small-group in-person classes and in-person tournaments..
That being said, we have developed an outstanding online chess program in which your child can participate this summer! Our online classes using the video-conferencing software 'Zoom' in conjunction with the chess engine 'HIARCS' have had great results. We feel confident that our online program is as good as and may be in some ways better than in-person teaching.
One key is that our chess engine has an attractive chess board diagram which appears on the students’ screens and allows us to move the pieces around to explore different variations of the chess positions we study. The kids need something interesting to look at, and this fits the bill. We can also cover a lot of ground quickly.
We will have three camps during the summer of 2021, the weeks of July 26th, August 9th, and August 23rd. The camps will be 4 hours per day, Monday through Friday. They will be for Intermediate and Advanced chess students only (or with special permission). Go to 'Online Classes' to register.
