About Us

Train of Thought brings chess to schools. Since 2006, we've taught more than 25,000 students (K-12) at over 100 public, private, charter and parochial schools. Our vision is to deliver the benefits of chess to every school, every student, everyday. We believe all students (K-12) can benefit from learning the basic rules of the game.

Benefits of Chess

Chess is one of the most powerful educational tools available to strengthen students’ minds, boost academic performance and promote social development. Countless studies have proven that playing chess on a regular basis leads to significant improvement in critical thinking, cognitive abilities and problem solving skills.
