Chess for Kids in Maryland

Silver Knights Chess Academy has been teaching chess in Maryland for more than 15 years.  We've worked with 60,000 kids chess in hundreds of elementary schools, middle schools, and summer camps from all over the state.  Most of the students in classes and camps are beginners or intermediate players, but we've also coached state champions from Anne Arundel County, Baltimore City and County, Howard County, Montgomery County, and the first one ever from Frederick in 2025!

In the school year we run clubs at schools and community centers on days with school, break camps on days without school, and tournaments on weekends, including the MD State Tournament, Girls Championship, and Mid-Atlantic Championship.  In the summer we run camps.  We also offer more advanced chess classes online in our Academy program.
